This chapter explains the parameters and operation functions of the motorized linear slide, motorized cylinder.
(Hereinafter described as motorized actuator)
1-1 Setting ow
1 Install the motorized actuator.
2 Install and connect a driver.
3 Start the MEXE02.
4 Parameters such as the traveling direction and minimum travel amount have been set in the
ABZO sensor at the time of shipment.

operation
The operation data for the motorized actuator equipped the AZ Series is set on the millimeter unit.
5 Copy the ABZO information (xed value) to the driver.
Using the MEXE02, match the ABZO information (xed value) and the setting value of the driver parameter.
6 Create a recovery data le.
The ABZO information (xed value) can be stored as the recovery data le.
Save the recovery data le in a PC as a data le. Refer to the AZ Series OPERATING MANUAL Function Edition for
details.
7 Set the software limit when no sensor is used.
8 Check the movement of the motorized actuator.
Using the “Teaching, remote operation” of the MEXE02, check the movement of the motorized actuator.
9 Save the set data.

1-2 Creating the recovery data le
The recovery data le represents a le saved the factory setting of the product.
Create the recovery data le initially in case of replacing the product for maintenance or product damage.
Save the recovery data le in a PC as a data le.
Refer to the AZ Series OPERATING MANUAL Function Edition for details.
•Be sure to create the recovery data le when the motorized actuator is used.
•Be sure to create the recovery data le before the motorized actuator is installed in equipment.

1-3 Parameter setting list
Parameters for the motorized actuator are set as follows at the time of shipment.
•In the case of the motorized actuator of the DC power input type, the operating speed may not
reach the maximum speed depending on the ambient temperature or motor cable length.
•In the case of the pulse input type driver, use the function setting switch in the state of the factory
setting. If it is changed, the actuator operates with a certain number of resolution since the ABZO
setting of the motor does not apply to the driver.
•AC power input type products of the EASM6, EZSM6, EZSHM6 or EACM6 model;
If a load is operated in a vertical direction, an overvoltage alarm may generate depending on the
driving condition. When the alarm has generated, reconsider the operating condition or use our
regeneration resistor.

1-5 Return-to-home operation
Return-to-home is an operation in which the reference point of positioning (home) is detected.
It is executed to return to the home from the present position when the time of power-on and upon completion of
positioning operation.
High-speed return-to-home operation
High-speed return-to-home operation is an operation to return to the mechanical home on the absolute position
coordinate set in advance.
Since the home is recognized by the ABZO sensor, return-to-home operation can be executed at the same speed as
that of the normal positioning operation without using an external sensor.
When the ZHOME input is turned ON, high-speed return-to-home operation is started. The motor stops when the
operation stop signal is turned ON while the motor is operating.

When the ZHOME input is turned ON,
high-speed return-to-home operation is started.
When the motor reached to the home,
operation is stopped.

Return-to-home operation
Return-to-home operation is an operation to detect the home by using an external sensor. It is executed to return
from the present position to the home at the time of power-on and upon completion of positioning operation. A
sensor set is also provided as our product.
Return-to-home operation can be performed in the following four patterns.
Item Description Features
2-sensor mode
When the limit sensor is detected, the motor rotates in the
reverse direction and pulls out of the limit sensor. After
pulling out of the limit sensor, the motor moves to stop
according to the value set in the "(HOME) Backward steps
in 2 sensor home-seeking" parameter. The position at
which the motor stopped becomes the home.
•Two external sensors are required.
•The operating speed is low.
(return-to-home starting speed)
3-sensor mode
When the limit sensor is detected, the motor rotates in the
reverse direction and pulls out of the limit sensor. After
that, the motor stops when the ON edge of the HOME
sensor is detected. The position at which the motor
stopped becomes the home.
•Three external sensors are
required. *2
•The operating speed is high.
(return-to-home operation speed)
1-sensor mode
The motor stops when the ON edge of the HOME sensor is
detected. After that, the motor pulls out at the speed set
in the "(HOME) Last speed" parameter until the OFF edge
of the HOME sensor is detected. After pulling out of the
limit sensor, the motor moves to stop according to the
value set in the "(HOME) Operating amount in uni-
directional home-seeking" parameter. The position at
which the motor stopped becomes the home.
•One external sensor is required.
•The operating speed is high.
(return-to-home operation speed)
•Not rotate in the reverse direction.
Push-motion
mode *1
The motor rotates in the reverse direction when a
mechanism installed to the motor presses against a
stopper, etc. on the machine. After that, the motor moves
according to the value of "(HOME) Backward steps after
rst entry in push-home-seeking," rotates in the reverse
direction, and is operated at the home detection speed.
The motor rotates in the reverse direction when a
mechanism installed to the motor presses against a
stopper, etc. on the machine, moves according to the
value of "(HOME) Backward steps in push-home-seeking,"
and stops. The position at which the motor stopped
becomes the home.
•An external sensor is not required.
•The operating speed is high.
(return-to-home operation speed)
*1 Do not perform push-motion return-to-home operation with the EZSH Series.
*2 When multiple external sensors cannot be installed to a motorized linear actuator and a rotational mechanism, the
home can be detected with a single external sensor.

•Perform push-motion return-to-home operation in the specication range of the
dynamic permissible moment. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to
equipment.
•EAC Series:
If push-motion return-to-home operation is performed in the direction opposite
the motor side, provide an external mechanism where the rod can press within the
eective stroke. Pressing in excess of the eective stroke may result in injury or
damage to equipment.
•Lead 6 mm type products of the EASM2 or EACM2 model:
If a load is operated in a vertical direction, perform push-motion return-to-home operation to the
downward direction. The home may vary if you perform it to the upward direction.
•Lead 12 mm type products of the EASM4, EZSM4 or EACM4 model:
If a load is operated in a vertical direction, perform push-motion return-to-home operation to the
upward direction with a load mass of 4 kg or less. If the load is exceeded 4 kg, the home may vary.
Movement of push-motion return-to-home operation
If push-motion return-to-home operation is performed with keeping the initial value (0) for the “(HOME) Position
oset” parameter, the moving part returns to the home to stop after hitting the actuator end. Refer to the“Distance
from the actuator end to the home” on p.17.

Be sure to set the push current so that the upper limit value is not exceeded. Performing push-
motion operation with the current value exceeding the upper limit value may cause damage to the
actuator or equipment. This may also cause deterioration in actuator specification.
