1-4 Setting procedure
Actuators equipped with the AZ Series
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 and start the support software MEXE02.
3
Copy the ABZO information (xed value) to the driver.
Parameters such as the traveling direction and minimum travel amount have
been set in the ABZO sensor at the time of shipment.
Using the MEXE02, match the xed value of the ABZO sensor and the setting
value of the driver parameter.
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 Save the set data.
Actuators equipped with the PKP Series
1 Install and connect a motorized actuator and a driver.
2 Use the switches on the driver to set the minimum travel amount.
3 Check the movement of the motorized actuator.

1-5 Traveling direction of the moving part
The traveling direction of the moving part varies depending on the setting of the travel amount or the input method
of the pulse signal. Check in the table.
The table describes examples when an actuator is used with the factory setting.
Setting Traveling direction
Operation by setting of parameter
Set the travel amount to the positive (+) direction.
Move to the opposite the motor side.
Operation by pulse signal
•2-pulse input mode
Input the pulse signal to the CW input.
•1-pulse input mode
Input the pulse signal to the PLS input when the
DIR input is ON.
Operation by setting of parameter
Set the travel amount to the negative (−) direction.
Move to the motor side.
Operation by pulse signal
•2-pulse input mode
Input the pulse signal to the CCW input.
•1-pulse input mode
Input the pulse signal to the PLS input when the
DIR input is OFF.
1-6 How to describe the model name in this manual
The setting values of parameters for the motorized actuator vary depending on the frame size or ball screw lead.
Alphanumeric characters other than the frame size or ball screw lead of the motorized actuator are omitted from the
model names described in this manual.

2 When using the DR Series
2-1 When the equipped motor is the AZ Series
The motorized actuator equipped with the AZ Series can be used with the parameters
at the time of shipment.
Do not perform push-motion operation with the DR201and DR281(ball screw lead 1 mm)
equipped with the AZ Series. The TLC output may be turned ON before push-motion operation is
complete. (Push-motion return-to-home operation can be performed.)
•Set the operating speed by checking the specication of the maximum speed.
•The maximum speed may decrease depending on the ambient temperature or the motor cable
length.
•Rod type:
Be sure to set the home position before starting operation since it is not set at the time of
shipment. [For actuators other than the rod type, the home position (factory home position) is set
at the time of shipment.]
•When using in combination with the pulse input type driver:
Use the function setting switch No.1 (resolution setting) with the factory setting as it is. If it is
changed, the ABZO information does not apply and the actuator will operate at a certain
resolution.
How to read the table
Parameters that have set a value dedicated for the motorized actuator are described on p.8 and later. Setting the
specied values enables operation that satises the specications of the motorized actuator.
The minimum travel amount is set to “0.001 mm” at the time of shipment. It makes easier to calculate the travel
amount and others since the actuator moves 0.001 mm per one step.
Unit of travel amount: mm
(JOG) Operating speed 2 [mm/s]
(JOG) Acceleration/deceleration 0.5 [m/s2]
(JOG) Starting speed 0.5 [mm/s]
Unit of travel amount: step
Item Factory setting
2 [kHz]
500 [kHz/s]
500 [Hz]
These values are set in the motorized
actuator at the time of shipment.
Set the values in this column
when setting in unit of step.

When using the DR Series

Mechanism limit
The home position is set at the time of shipment for actuators other than the rod type of the DR Series. This is called
“factory home position.”
The mechanism limit (mechanical end) is stored in the ABZO sensor (xed value) for products that the factory home
position is set. If the moving part reaches the mechanism limit during operation, an alarm of mechanical overtravel is
generated. The position of the mechanism limit does not change even if the home position is set by the customer
side.
To disable the mechanism limit, change the "Mechanism limit parameter setting" parameter to "Disable."
However, if the mechanism limit is disabled, the moving part may strike the mechanical end or the ball screw shaft
may not move with being jammed in the nut part, causing damage to the product. Operate with enough care.

* The gure shows the table type.
When disabling the mechanism limit, be careful not to damage the product or
equipment by thoroughly examining the operation data such as the travel amount
(position) and the operating speed.
If the moving part reaches the mechanism limit on the negative direction and a state of generating
the alarm of mechanical overtravel is continued, an alarm of overload may also be generated.

* When performing push-motion return-to-home operation, use the actuator with the operating current of the factory
setting as much as possible. If the operating current smaller than the factory setting is set, the TLC output may be
turned ON before push motion is complete, causing push-motion return-to-home operation to end at an
unexpected position.
