with the AZ Series
2-1 Setting ow
The motorized actuator equipped with the AZ Series can be used with the parameters
at the time of shipment.
1 Install and connect a motorized actuator and a driver.
2 Connect a PC installed the support software MEXE02 to start.
3
Copy the ABZO information (xed value) of the ABZO sensor to the driver.
Parameters such as the travel direction and minimum step angle have been set in the ABZO
sensor at the time of shipment.
Use the MEXE02 software to match the ABZO information (xed value) of the ABZO sensor
and the setting value of the driver parameters.
4 Set the software limit when no sensor is used.
5 Write the set data to the driver.
6 Check the movement of the motorized actuator.
7 Backup the data having set.
2-2 Parameter list
How to read the table
This section describes parameters that have a value specic to the motorized actuator. Setting the specied values
allows operation that satises the specications of the motorized actuator.
The minimum step angle is set to“0.01 degrees”at the time of shipment. This makes it easier to calculate the travel
amount, etc., since the actuator moves 0.01 degrees per step.
Unit of travel amount: Deg
(JOG) Operating speed 10 [deg/s]

2-3 Operation
Push-motion operation and push-motion return-to-home operation cannot be performed with the
DGII Series. If these operations are attempted, an alarm of Operation data error is generated.
Setting of minimum step angle
The minimum step angle is set to 0.01 degrees at the time of shipment. Set the minimum step angle with the
"Electronic gear A" and "Electronic gear B" parameters.
The formula for calculating the minimum step angle is as follows.
M
inimum step angle of output table (deg) =
360°
Gear ratio × 1,000 × (Electronic gear B ÷ Electronic gear A)
For the pulse input type, use the function setting switches as they are in the factory settings. If they
are changed, the ABZO information does not apply and the actuator will operate at a certain
resolution.
Coordinate management of output table
At the time of shipment, the coordinates are set to a range of minus 180 to plus 180 degrees centered on the
mechanical home. The coordinates can be changed to a range of 0 to 360 degrees according to the application.
Coordinates are a range of ±180 ° at the
time of shipment.

Positioning operation by wrap function
Using the wrap function can perform the following operations.
Coordinate
setting Operation type Details of operation
±180° Absolute positioning Species the coordinates of the target position.
Incremental positioning Species the distance to the target position.
0 to 360°
Wrap absolute positioning Species the coordinates of the target position within the wrap range.
Wrap proximity positioning Species the coordinates of the target position where the travel
distance is shorter within the wrap range.
Wrap forward direction
absolute positioning
Species the coordinates of the target position in the forward
direction within the wrap range.
Wrap reverse direction

direction within the wrap range.
Comparison of positioning SD (stored data) operation
The travel amount and travel direction of the output table varies depending on the operation type.
When the coordinates are set to a range of minus 180 to plus 180 degrees and operation is started
from the position of 90 degrees.
Set the parameters as follows.
•Initial coordinate generation & wrap coordinate setting: Prioritize ABZO setting (factory setting)
•Initial coordinate generation & wrap setting range [rev]: 1.0 (factory setting)
•Initial coordinate generation & wrap range oset ratio [%]: 50.00 (factory setting)
