6.2 Various Functions [Setting] (1) Selecting functions to be used Set with a parameter. Set Parameter No. 168 "Collision Detection Function." Set value Content Alarm level No detection will be made (same even if 2, 4, 6 are set) - Detects within the set range of the position zone.
Page 581
6.2 Various Functions [Adjustment] Make adjustments using the following descriptions as a guideline. ■ Judgment range: Avoid acceleration regions that may require a large amount of current, and configure over the range where collisions may occur. ■ Detection current value: Consider travel speed, weight of the workpiece, etc., and set as low as possible over ranges where false detection is unlikely to occur.
6.2 Various Functions Power-saving function [AUTO Servo OFF and Full Servo Function] Equipped with AUTO servo OFF (setting available for all motor specifications) and full servo function (stepper motor specification only) to reduce power consumption while the actuator is stopped. Fully understand the descriptions in this section and use without any safety or operational issues.
Page 583
6.2 Various Functions Caution ● Do not use this function if operation after automatic servo OFF is pitch feed (relative travel). ● Slight position deviation may occur due to turning the servo ON/OFF. Additionally, if the position deviates due to application of external force during servo OFF, positioning to the correct position will become impossible since the position at startup is the reference point for pitch feed operation.
Page 584
6.2 Various Functions [Setting of Power-saving Method] Select from the following conditions, and set in "stop mode" of the position table, or with Parameter No. 53 using a numerical value. For AC servo motor specification and DC brush-less motor specification, select from 0 to 3. For stepper motor specification, select from 0 to 7.
Page 585
6.2 Various Functions [Status of Positioning Complete Signal when AUTO Servo OFF Selected] If AUTO servo OFF is executed, the status is no longer positioning complete as the servo is turned OFF. Therefore, the positioning complete signal PEND turns OFF. By changing the PEND signal into an in-position signal that determines if the unit is stopped in the range of positioning width instead of the positioning complete signal, the signal can be made not to turn OFF even during servo OFF.
Page 586
6.2 Various Functions [Auto current down function] Stepper motor specification only (1) Function selection parameter Energized at a set current regardless of size of the external force for complete stop after (Note 1) positioning operation, and when auto current down adjustment is not used. With the use of auto current down adjustment, energization is done with consideration of the impact of external force, so it is effective for reduction of power consumption when transported load is small, etc.
Page 587
6.2 Various Functions (2) Control with function enabled 1) The same process as the existing complete stop function will be performed until the energization amount reaches current limit during positioning stop (parameter). 2) After completion of current energization during stop, the state is maintained until target position deviation does not occur (zero).
