EZS/ EZC Series Controller EZMC36 USER MANUAL
1-1
Chapter 1 Safety
Read this manual before installing or wiring the controller. By reading the manual you
can better understand the installation methods and procedures and gain an under-
standing of how to operate the controller and slider/cylinder both safely and effec-
tively.
Always observe the items listed under “General Safety Guidelines ” on p. 1-3. Warnings
and precautions specific to the controller are explained in connection with the rele-
vant items throughout this manual.
The EZS/EZC Series products are designed for use in an electrical system or ma-
chine as an internal component. During operation and immediately after the power
supply is cut off, the parts continue to operate and remain hot, thus posing a risk of
bodily injury or property damage.
It is prohibited to start the slider/cylinder (i.e., to operate the device in accordance
with the specified purpose) when the machine does not satisfy any relevant safety
standards.
The factory safety manager or safety personnel in charge of the applicable machine
must ensure that the machine is operated only by qualified personnel who are famil-
iar with the operation of electronic equipment, and thereby prevent injury or damage
to the equipment.
The term “qualified personnel” refers to persons who have received the necessary
training or education and have pertinent experience; who are familiar with the rele-
vant standards, regulations, accident-prevention rules and inspection conditions; who
are authorized by the factory safety manager to engage in the necessary activities;
and who have the ability to discern and prevent potential dangers.
Dangers that may arise in connection with the use of this product are as follows:
● Electric shock
● Electrical fire
● Danger posed by the machine
● Electromagnetic disturbance
These dangers must be controlled properly by providing safety design for the machine,
adopting specific local regulations, and observing the standard safety guidelines and
specific precautionary notes supplemental thereto. This product poses no danger as-
sociated with chemical products or radiation.
1.2.1 Electric Shock
To prevent electric shock, as the power supply for your EZS/EZC Series product use
only a DC power supply that has passed the necessary tests and provides reinforced
insulation on the primary and secondary sides. For maximum safety, provide a pro-
tective grounding for the ground terminal of the DC power supply.
1.2.2 Electrical Fire
Electrical fire can be avoided by conforming to the general procedures implemented
in industrial power-equipment works. It is essential that appropriate qualified personnel
conduct the electrical work. Please note that a safe distance must be ensured from
the machine in which the slider/cylinder is installed, so that only appropriate qualified
personnel can access the slider/cylinder.
Chapter 1
1.1 Safety Precautions
1.2 Potential Dangers
Safety

1-2
1.2.3 Danger Posed by the Machine
Danger posed by the machine relates to unexpected movement of the slider/cylinder
(table/rod) in an uncontrolled situation. If the machine is subject to such an unex-
pected movement of parts, the slider/cylinder must be electrically disconnected from
the controller using an appropriate preventive measure whenever the operating part
of the machine is to be accessed by a person. Note that the mounting parts of the
slider/cylinder must under all circumstances not be loose.
Provide a safety measure external to the controller so that the entire machine will op-
erate safely when an abnormality occurs due to a failure in the controller or slider/cylin-
der, or due to any other external factor.
● The controller cuts off the motor’s output current and stops the slider/cylinder when
its protective function is actuated or upon the occurrence of a CPU error.
● Upon the detection of an EMG (emergency stop) input, the controller cuts off the
motor’s output power and stops the slider/cylinder (stop category 0: non-controlled
stop). If the motor is equipped with an electromagnetic brake, the electromagnet-
ic brake will be actuated in order to produce the necessary holding brake force.
Provide a measure on the machine side so that it will operate safely if the slider/cylin-
der stops.
The stop action is specified in 9.2.2 and 9.2.5.3 of EN60204-1.
The following three stop actions are available:
Category 0: The power supply to the drive device is stopped by direct means ( e.g.,
non-controlled stop).
Category 1: The power supply to the drive device continues during the stopping ac-
tion and stops when the stopping action is complete. Controlled stop
mode.
Category 2: The power supply to the drive device continues. Controlled-stop mode.
The safety precautions described above are by no means comprehensive.
Please contact ORIENTAL MOTOR concerning any question or problem you might
have.
1.2.4 Electromagnetic Disturbance
Appropriate measures must be taken to suppress the EMI (Electromagnetic
Interference) caused by the slider/cylinder, controller and teaching pendant in the near-
by control systems equipment and to address the EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility)
of the slider/cylinder, controller and teaching pendant. Failure to do so may result in
a serious impairment of the machine’s performance.
Provide EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) measures when installing/wiring the
product.
The safety precautions described above are by no means comprehensive.
Please contact Oriental Motor concerning any question or problem you might have.

1.3 General Safety Guidelines
This section explains the general safety guidelines applicable to the EZS/EZC Series.
Safety information specific to the controller is provided in connection with the relevant
items throughout the manual.
To prevent bodily injury, please observe the following points.
Warning
● Be sure that personnel with expert knowledge of elec-
trical and mechanical engineering perform the instal-
lation, connection, operation, maintenance and trou-
bleshooting. Failure to do so may result in fire, elec-
tric shock or injury.
● Always turn off the power supply before connecting or
disconnecting the product to/from the machine. Failure
to do so may result in electric shock.
● If the controller’s protective function has been actuat-
ed, remove the cause and then reconnect the power
source. If the slider/cylinder operation is continued
without removing the cause, the controller may mal-
function and cause injury or equipment damage.
● Always turn off the power supply to the controller be-
fore performing maintenance or repair of the machine.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
● Do not disassemble or modify the slider/cylinder. When
maintaining the slider, do not disassemble parts other
than those specified in this manual. Doing so may re-
sult in injury.
● When the product is used in a lifting application, choose
a type equipped with an electromagnetic brake.
Without an electromagnetic brake the slider/cylinder
will lose its holding brake force when the power is cut
off or upon actuation of the controller’s protective func-
tion or emergency stop function. When this happens,
the moving part may drop, causing injury or equipment
damage.
● Do not use the electromagnetic brake to decelerate,
nor use it as a safety brake. The electromagnetic brake
is designed to hold the slider/cylinder position. Failure
to observe this precaution may result in injury or equip-
ment damage.
● If the product is of the absolute type, perform a return-
to-home operation or absolute positioning operation
immediately after recovery of the power supply. Failure
to do so may result in injury or equipment damage.
● If an incremental positioning operation is performed
immediately after recovery of the power supply, the
following accidents may occur:
●
If the moving part of the slider/cylinder has shift-
ed during the battery backup period due to an
external force, the new position of the moving
part will be recognized as the origin in the posi-
tioning operation and the stopping position will
deviate accordingly.

1-4
Caution
● Do not use the controller and slider/cylinder beyond
their specified values. Doing so may result in injury or
equipment damage.
● No one should come close to the slider/cylinder be-
yond the safety distance, except for qualified person-
nel. To do so may result in injury.
● When transporting the slider/cylinder, do so by hold-
ing the body of the slider/cylinder. Holding the slid-
er/cylinder by the cables, table or rod may result in in-
jury.
● Do not supply power to the machine when the slid-
er/cylinder covers are not installed in their specified
positions. Doing so may result in electric shock or in-
jury.
● Do not touch the table or rod while the slider/cylinder
is in operation. To do so may result in injury.
● Connect the slider/cylinder cables to the appropriate
connectors on the controller. Failure to do so may re-
sult in equipment damage.
● Precautionary note on emergency stop
When the emergency stop button on the teaching pen-
dant is pressed or an EMG input to the controller is de-
tected, the controller cuts off the motor’s output current
and stops the motor. If the slider/cylinder is equipped
with an electromagnetic brake, the brake is actuated and
the position is held. However, if there is no electromag-
netic brake, the holding brake force is lost and it may take
longer to stop. If the load installed on the table or rod is
likely to contact other equipment during this period, pro-
vide a safety mechanism on the machine side. Failure
to do so may result in injury or equipment damage.
● Precautionary note on static electricity
Static electricity may cause the controller to malfunction
or sustain damage. Do not touch the controller while the
power is being supplied. When adjusting the controller’s
axis-number setting switch, electromagnetic brake re-
lease switch, pendant switch or DIP switches while the
power supply is active, always use an insulated screw-
driver.

Chapter 2 Unpacking, Inspection and Storage
2.3 Inspection Procedure
2.4 Storing the Controller
It is recommended that you check the following points upon receipt of the product:
● Inspect the controller for any physical damage sustained during shipment.
● Check the combination of the controller and the slider or cylinder.
To check the combination, see “Combination List ” on p. A-1 of the Slider/Cylinder
Installation Manual and check the unit model and corresponding models of individual
controller and slider/cylinder.
If the product is found to be damaged during the unpacking process, or if the combi-
nation is wrong or the controller does not operate properly when tested, please con-
tact theOriental Motor branch or sales office from which you purchased the product.
Report problems to Oriental Motor as soon as possible after your receipt of the prod-
uct.
For the warranty period of the controller and whether or not the applicable defect qual-
ifies for a warranty repair, see “Repair ” on p. 8-1.
Use the product packing materials to wrap the controller and put it back into the ship-
ping carton. Store the controller in a place that satisfies the following conditions:
● A clean place not subject to excessive humidity or salt
● A place away from direct sunlight
● An ambient temperature of 0°C to
+
50°C (
+
32˚F to
+
122˚F) (nonfreezing)
● A relative humidity of 85% or below (noncondensing)
● A place not exposed to corrosive gases
● A place not subject to continuous vibration
Some of the parts used in the controller
are sensitive to static electricity. When
touching the controller, provide an an-
tistatic measure. Also, place the metal
surface of the controller on a conduc-
tive material. A failure to provide an ap-
propriate antistatic measure may dam-
age the controller.

Chapter 3 Controller Overview
This chapter explains the basic controller functions and operating requirements that
must be understood and observed in order to ensure correct use of the controller.
The EZS/EZC Series controller is equipped with a communication function, encoder
feedback function, and other functions needed to operate the slider/cylinder using pro-
grammed data, and to perform positioning controls such as home-position detection.
The data and parameters used in the slider/cylinder positioning control are set in the
controller via the teaching pendant (optional). The teaching pendant can set and main-
tain data for up to 16 controllers. However, in the manual operation mode the teach-
ing pendant can only access one selected controller. Figure 3-1 shows the configu-
ration of a system comprised of EZS/EZC Series controllers and sliders/cylinders, as
well as a teaching pendant.
The absolute type controller provides a position-remembering function whereby the
movement of the slider table or cylinder rod is monitored via the encoder when the
power supply to the controller is cut off.
Chapter 3Controller Overview
3.1 Overview

3-2
The encoder installed in the slider/cylinder constantly feeds back to the controller the
position of the moving part (table/rod). The controller monitors the encoder signal
and controls the motor so as to prevent any deviation in the position of the moving
part. There are two controller types: the absolute type, which provides a position-re-
membering function, and the incremental type without the position-remembering func-
tion. If your controller is of the incremental type, always perform a return-to-home
operation of the slider/cylinder after turning on the power.
The controller operates in two modes: the controller mode, in which the positioning
of the slider/cylinder is performed using operation data; and in the driver mode, in
which the slider/cylinder is operated via the pulse train input from a user-defined con-
troller.
The available I/O functions vary, depending on the operation mode setting. It is rec-
ommended that you select the controller mode when performing slider/cylinder op-
eration.
The controller cuts off the motor’s output current and stops the slider/cylinder when
its protective function is actuated or upon the occurrence of a CPU error.
