8. Do not attempt to hit the slider or rod against an obstacle with high speed.
It may destroy the coupling.
9. Make sure to attach the actuator properly by following this instruction manual.
Using the product with the actuator not being certainly retained or affixed may cause abnormal
noise, vibration, malfunction or shorten the product life.
10. Make sure to follow the usage condition, environment and specification range
of the product.
Operation out of the guarantee could cause a drop in performance or malfunction of the
product.
11. Use the dedicated teaching tool.
Check 1.1.2 Teaching Tool for the PC software and teaching pendant available for this
controller.
12. Do not connect Quick Teach while a tool (teaching) is being connected to the
8-pin mini DIN connector on the ERC3 main unit.
Communication between ERC3 and the tool (teaching or PC) becomes unable.
13. Do not connect Quick Teach while a tool is being connected to TP connector
(8-pin mini DIN) on ERC3 side.
Since the communication with Quick Teach cannot be established, ERC3 cannot receive the
high-output invalid command and runs with the high-output setting condition, resulting in a
generation of the voltage drop error due to the capacity drop of the power supply unit inside
Quick Teach.
14. Backup the data to secure for breakdown.
A non-volatile memory is used as the backup memory for this controller. All the registered
position data and parameters are written into this memory and backed-up at the same time.
Therefore, you will not usually lose the data even if the power is shut down. However, make
sure to save the latest data so a quick recovery action can be taken in case when the controller
is broken and needs to be replaced with another one.
How to Save Data
(1) Save the data to CD-R or hard disk with using the PC software
(2) Hard-copy the information of position tables and parameters on paper
15. Clock Setting in Calendar Function
When power is supplied to the PIO converter for the first time, “Error Code 069 Real Time Clock
Vibration Stop Detected” May get generated. In the case this happens, set the current time with
a teaching tool.
If the battery is fully charged, the clock data is retained for approximately 10 days after the
power is turned OFF. Even though the time setting is conducted before the product is shipped
out, the battery is not fully charged. Therefore, there may be a case that the clock data is lost
even with fewer days than described above passed since the product is shipped out.
16. Pulse Train Control Type cannot be operated with the serial communication.
It is able, however, to monitor the current position or the conditions of the status.
