Installation and Noise Elimination
1. Noise Elimination Grounding (Frame Ground)
2. Precautions regarding wiring method
1) Wire is to be twisted for the 24V DC power supply.
2) Separate the signal and encoder lines from the power
supply and power lines.
3. Noise Sources and Elimination
Carry out noise elimination measures for electrical devices
on the same power path and in the same equipment.
The following are examples of measures to eliminate noise
sources.
1) AC solenoid valves, magnet switches and relays
[Measure] Install a Surge absorber parallel with the coil.
2) DC solenoid valves, magnet switches and relays
[Measure] Consider whether to attach a diode in parallel
to the coil or to use a diode built-in type.
4. Cooling Factors and Installation
Follow the specifications and dimensions shown below when you design and build a control board.

Power Supply and Stop Circuit (Example)
In the diagram below shows a circuit related to RCON drive source cutoff. For RCON, motor power is
supplied from the gateway unit, but the circuit related to the drive-source cutoff is on the driver unit side.
• Each driver unit possesses an interface (Drive source cutoff connector: MPI/MPO) available for external
drive source cutoff prepared for each axis.
• Each driver unit possesses a drive source cutoff circuit by semiconductor prepared for each axis. The
motor power should be cut off by STOP Signal. The drive source cutoff circuit by semiconductor
possesses features to detect the overcurrent and to limit the in-rush current.
Note 1 RCON-GW : If nothing is connected to the SIO connector, S1 and S2 will be short-circuited in the controller.
RCON-GWG : If nothing is connected to the SIO connector, S1 and S2 will not be short-circuited in the controller.
To short-circuit, connect the supplied dummy plug DP-5 to the SIO connector.
Note ●When externally shutting off the motor drive source to comply with the safety category or the like, connect a contact
such as a relay to the wiring between the MPI* and MPO* terminals.
●The rating of the STOP-signal to be turned ON/OFF with the contact CR1 is 24 VDC / 10 mA or less.
●The CR1 coil current must be 0.1 A or less.
●When supplying power by turning ON/OFF 24 VDC, leave 0 V connected and supply/cut off +24 V.
Warning : Note that the teaching pendant cannot have a stop for the system side even though it can have a stop for
all the actuators connected to RCON unit.

Operation Mode Selected
In this controller, it is available to select six types of operation modes individually for each axis as the field
network type.
The settings are to be established with Gateway Parameter Setting Tool.
Operation Mode Contents
Direct Indication
Mode
The target position, speed, acceleration/deceleration and pressing current limit can be
indicated with inputting a number. Monitoring of not only the current position, but also
the current speed and indicated current are available.
Simple Direct Mode
The target position can be indicated directly by inputting a value. Also, monitoring of the
current position is available in 0.01mm unit.
Those other than the target position are to be indicated in the position table, and the
setting can be done for 128 points at maximum.
Positioner 1 Mode
The 128 points of position data can be registered at the maximum and is able to stop at
the registered positions. Also, monitoring of the current position is available in 0.01mm
unit.
Positioner 2 Mode
This is the operation mode of the position data of 128 points at maximum set in the
position table. The monitoring of the current position is not available.
This mode is that the transferred data is reduced from Positioner 1 Mode.
Positioner 3 Mode
This is the operation mode of the position data of 128 points at maximum set in the
position table. The monitoring of the current position is not available.
This is the mode to control with the minimized number of signals to perform the
positioning operation by reducing the amount of sent and received data from Positioner
2 Mode.
Positioner 5 Mode
This is the operation mode of the position data of 16 points at maximum set in the
position table.
It is a mode that enabled to monitor the current position in 0.1mm unit by reducing the
number of position table from Positioner 2 Mode.
Starting Procedures
When using this product for the first time, make sure to avoid mistakes and incorrect wiring by referring to
the procedure below.
In this section, explains how to start up especially for RCON controller. Follow an instruction manual (DVD)
for each device for how to link to other devices, controllers and actuators that are linked in the network.
Troubleshooting (LED Display)
On RCON Gateway Unit, there are the monitor LEDs for the field network and communication.
You can confirm the communication establishment and also communication errors on these LEDs.

2) In case of using the extension units, turn the power on for SCON connected to the extension units.
3) Supply the power to RCON.
Check the status of LED lamps to see the
cause of the error to have an appropriate
counteraction. Do the whole process from
the start if the cause of the error is not
clear.
↓
Communication Establishment Check
• In case of using the extension units, turn the power on for SCON
connected to the extension units.
* Refer to “Troubleshooting” in this first step guide
• Confirm that communication is established also on PLC (master unit).
* Refer to PLC Instruction Manual.
Check the circuit.
↓Yes
Now, it is succeeded to establish communication and ready for operation.
Move on to the system operation check and adjustment.
↓
Assembling RCON (Linking up Units) * Refer to RCON 24V/200V Driver Unit First Step Guide (ME0383/ME0397)
Join the units to use such as the gateway unit, driver unit, extension unit and so on.

Important Check Item
• Is the control sequence applicable for
the continuous mode and the system?
↓Yes
