IAI America RCS-E - Manual (Page 4)

CAUTION
(1) Hold · Servo ON Signal
When operating the RCS (ROBO cylinder) controller, you will need to turn ON the Hold &
Servo ON signal Input Signal of PIO.
In case the Hold Stop Input Signal of PIO remains OFF, RCS controller will not move due to
hold status. Therefore, please be careful.
(2) Position 0 may be output regardless of the actual position. At the timings specified below,
the positioning completion signal turns ON no matter where the actual position is. As a
result, the output status becomes “Position 0.”
1. When the power is turned on
2. When the emergency stop is reset
3. When the alarm is reset
4. When a reset is performed after hold
Be extra careful when using Position 0.
(3) With the absolute type, 0E5 (Encoder Reception Error) will be displayed under certain
conditions, such as when the power is first turned on after disconnecting the battery or PG
cable. This display does not indicate fault. Perform an absolute reset in accordance with
the specified procedure.
(4) Recommendation for backing up latest data
This controller uses nonvolatile memory to store position table data and parameters.
Although data in the memory is retained even after the power is cut off, the stored data will
be lost if the nonvolatile memory is damaged.
It is therefore recommended that you regularly back up the latest position table data and
parameters in case of accidental data loss. Regular backup will also let you restore data
quickly if the controller must be replaced for other reasons.
Use the following methods to back up data:
[1] Use the PC software to save the data to a CD or FD.
[2] Create a position table sheet or parameter sheet and keep a written record of backup.
