Description of safety
This product must be handled correctly.
Handling the product incorrectly may cause unexpected accidents resulting in personal injuries or
damage to your properties.
Many of those accidents can be avoided if you have advance information on dangerous situations.
This manual provides precautions where dangerous situations are predicted. The manual provides the
following alert marking and messages for this purpose:
This indicates a hazardous situation that could result in death or serious
WARNING
personal injury if you do not perform the procedure correctly.
This indicates a potentially hazardous situation that could result in personal
CAUTION
injury or physical damage if you do not perform the procedure correctly.
Before use
This product is not designed for use in the equipment related to nuclear power, aerospace equipment,■vehicles, marine vessels, medical equipment directly in touch with human body, equipment
anticipated to give a serious impact to properties, and other equipment required to provide high
reliability.
Take failsafe measures so that the whole system operates safely even if the input power causes an■error, a signal line is disconnected, or the main unit fails.
This product is equipped with a LIMIT overtravel signal and an FSSTOP signal to prevent■()
mechanical damage.
The default values of these signals are set to ACTIVE OFF B contact . Accordingly, even in a()
system configuration in which the FSSTOP and LIMIT signals are not used, pulses are not output
unless NORMAL ON GND connection is enabled.()
Be sure to use this product within the scope of the specifications described in this instruction manual■in accordance with the specification method described therein.
Set up the product before operating it.■Please refer to Section 3, "Setting."
Please refer to separate manual "AL- series device driver manual for Windows" also when you■Ⅱ
handle this product.

2-4. Applied functions
No. Item Specifications
1 Drive UP/DOWN/CONST drive CHANGE Drive change for acceleration, deceleration, or constant speed・
function function can be performed upon detection of signal at an arbitrary
change operation point.
SPEED CHANGE function The drive pulse speed is changed upon detection of signal at・an arbitrary change operation point.
RATE CHANGE function The rate is changed upon detection of signal at an arbitrary・change to the specified rate.
INDEX CHANGE function Upon detection of signal at an arbitrary change operation point,・the stop position at which drive is to be finished is changed.
Upon detection of the INC INDEX CHANGE command, the・system performs INC INDEX drive by setting the specified data
at the stop position of the relative address for which the start
position is the origin.
Upon detection of the ABS INDEX CHANGE command, the・system performs ABS INDEX drive by setting the specified
data at the stop position of the absolute address managed with
the address counter.
Optional axes liner interpolation Linear interpolation is performed toward the specified coordinates
drive from the current coordinates. Then long axis outputs pulses.
INDEX drive control the start point This function is allowed to set OFFSET of the start point at auto
at auto deceleration deceleration. This function can be used when INDEX drive, liner
interpolation and INDEX drive.
2 Count Ring counter function The address counter, pulse counter each are a ring counter in
function which any maximum count can be set.
Count data latch/clearance function This function latches count data of a counter at a specific latch
timing and holds it till the next latch timing.
Each counter can latch counter value at arbitrary timing.
It is possible to clear a counter value at the latch timing.
IN0 signal: for X-axis
IN1 signal: for Y-axis
Data reading Current status information includes setting data of X-axis or
Y-axis, latch data of a counter etc.
3 Other Command reservation function Each axis has a reservation register that can store data
functions commands for ten instructions.
General-purpose commands of drive commands can be・reserved in the reservation register.
After the command being executed is finished, the commands・stored in the reservation register are executed sequentially.
Then this function can be allowed continuous drive.
Input signal logical switch function The logic of the following input signals can be changed:
CWLM signal・CCWLM signal・DALM signal・FSSTOP signal・
External signal output The COMPARE REGISITER corresponding signal of the・counter can be output from the J14 connector.
The SOUT0 signal is a comparator of X-axis counter.
The SOUT1 signal is a comparator of Y-axis counter.
If the signal that influences the delay of AL- communication・Ⅱ
and OS inputs this signal output to the external instrument of
the trigger signal etc. of the camera, a real-time synchronous
control becomes possible.
The output time width of COMPARE REGISITER of each・counter can set 1 ms or less according to the response of an
external circuit.
