I/O Signals
Function description for I/O Signals
Category Signal
Abbreviation Signal Name Function Description
CSTR PTP strobe signal
(start signal)
The actuator will start to move to the position set by
the command position number.
PC1 to PC256 Command position
number signal Input of the position number to move (binary input)
BKRL Forced brake
release signal The brake will forcibly be released.
RMOD Operating mode
selector signal
The operating mode is selectable when the MODE
switch of the controller is set to AUTO. (The operating
mode of the controller will become AUTO when this
signal is turned OFF, or MANU when this signal is
turned ON.)
*STP Pause signal
When this signal turns OFF while the actuator is
moving, the actuator will decelerate to stop. The
remaining movement is retained and will resume when
the signal is turned ON again.
RES Reset signal
An alarm will be reset when this signal is turned ON.
The remaining movement can be canceled when the
pause signal is OFF (STP is OFF).
SON Servo ON signal The servo remains ON while this signal is ON, or OFF
while this signal is OFF.
HOME Home return signal The controller will perform home return operation when
this signal is turned ON.
MODE Teaching mode
signal
The operating mode will change to the teaching mode
when this signal is turned ON. (At this time, the mode
will not be selected unless all signals of CSTR, JOG+
and JOG- are OFF and the actuator operation has
stopped.)
JISL Jog/inching selector
signal
The actuator will jog with JOG+ or JOG- when this
signal is OFF. It will inch with JOG+ or JOG- when this
signal is ON.
JOG +, JOG - Jog signal
When the JISL signal is OFF, the actuator will jog
toward the +/- direction upon detection of an OFF→ON
rise edge of this signal.
If an ON→OFF fall edge of this signal is detected while
the actuator is jogging, the actuator will decelerate to a
stop.
PWRT Teaching signal
When the write position is specified in the teaching
mode and this signal has remained ON for 20msec or
longer, the controller will write the current position in
the specified position field.
Input
ST0 to ST6 Start position
command
In the electromagnetic valve mode, the actuator will
move to the specified position when this signal is ON.
(The start signal is not required.)
PEND/INP Positioning
completion signal
This signal will turn ON when the target position has
been reached after movement and the actuator has
entered the in-position range. The PEND signal will not
turn OFF but the INP signal will turn OFF if the position
deviation exceeds the in-position range. PEND or INP
can be selected by the parameter.
PM1 to PM256 Completed position
number signal
The relevant position number will be output when
positioning has been completed (binary output).
HEND Home return
completion signal
This signal will turn ON when home return has been
completed.
ZONE1 Zone signal This signal will turn ON when the current actuator
position enters the range set by the parameters.
PZONE Position zone signal
This signal will turn ON when the current actuator
position enters the range specified in the position data
after position movement. The combined use with
ZONE 1 is possible, but PZONE becomes effective
only for movement to the set position.
RMDS Operating mode
status signal The operating mode status will be output.
*ALM Controller alarm
status signal
This signal remains ON in normal conditions of use
and turns OFF when an alarm is generated.
MOVE Moving signal This signal will remain ON while the actuator is moving
(including home return and push & hold times).
SV Servo ON status
signal This signal will remain ON while the servo is ON.
*EMGS Emergency stop
status signal
This signal remains ON while the controller is under
the emergency stop reset condition and turns OFF
when the emergency stop condition is enabled.
MODES Mode status signal
This signal will turn ON when the teaching mode is
enabled by the input of the mode signal and will turn
OFF when the mode changes to the normal mode.
WEND Write completion
signal
This signal will turn OFF after the controller has
switched to the teaching mode. It will turn ON when
writing in response to the PWRT signal has been
completed. When the PWRT signal turns OFF, this
signal will also turn OFF.
PE0 to PE6 Current position
number signal
In the electromagnetic valve mode, this signal will turn
ON when the actuator completes moving to the target
position.
LS0 to LS2 Limit switch output
signal
This signal will turn ON when the current actuator
position enters the positioning band of the target
position. It will be output even before the movement
command if home return has been completed.
LOAD Load output
judgment status
This signal will be output when the load exceeds the
current value set as the “threshold” within the range of
zone+ and zone- in the position data during push &
hold operation. It is used to judge whether pressing
has been performed normally.
Output
TRQS Torque level status
signal
This signal will be output when the slider (rod) collides
against an obstacle during push & hold operation and
the motor current value reaches the value set as the
“threshold” in the position data.

insufficient item, contact your dealer.
2. Installation
Install the controller and actuator.
3. Wiring
Connect the 24V DC power supply, earth cable, emergency stop circuit, motor drive
power supply, motor cable, encoder cable and I/O flat cable.
4. Power Supply and Alarm Check
(1) Connect the PC or teaching pendant and set the mode selector switch to the
MANU side.
(2) After confirming that the emergency stop circuit is not activated, supply the input
power.
- When the controller functions properly:
The monitor LED [SV/ALM] illuminates for 2 seconds and then goes out.
- When an alarm generates:
The monitor LED [SV/ALM] illuminates in red.
After checking the contents of the alarm using the PC or teaching pendant,
remove the cause.
