3 Overview of the product
The AZ Series mini Driver PROFINET compatible is the dedicated driver for the AZ Series products.
Compact and light weight
Compact and lightweight are achieved, oering the dimensions of 69 mm×56 mm×30 mm (2.72 in.×2.2 in.×1.18 in.)
and the mass of 0.11 kg (0.24 lb.).
Compatible with PROFINET
Operation data and parameters can be set via PROFINET or using the MEXE02 software.
This manual describes how to set operation data and parameters via PROFINET.
Equipped with direct data operation function
Direct data operation is a function to start operation at the same time as rewriting of the data. It can be used when
the setting of the operation data is changed frequently, such as changing the speed or travel amount according to a
load.
Providing the GSD File
The GSD le (General Station Description le) is a le that describes the specic information of the PROFINET
compatible products. Importing the GSD le to the Conguration tool of the host controller can perform the settings
of PROFINET before the driver is delivered to you.

4 Safety precautions
The precautions described below are intended to ensure the safe and correct use of the product, and to prevent the
user and other personnel from exposure to the risk of injury. Use the product only after carefully reading and fully
understanding these instructions.
Handling the product without observing the instructions that accompany a "WARNING"
symbol may result in serious injury or death.
Handling the product without observing the instructions that accompany a "CAUTION"
symbol may result in injury or property damage.
The items under this heading contain important handling instructions that the user
should observe to ensure safe use of the product.
The items under this heading contain related information and contents to gain a further
understanding of the text in this manual.
General
•Do not use the product in explosive or corrosive environments, in the presence of ammable gases, in places
subjected to splashing water, or near combustibles. Doing so may result in re, electric shock, or injury.
•Assign qualied personnel to the task of installing, wiring, operating/controlling, inspecting and troubleshooting
the product. Handling by unqualied personnel may result in re, electric shock, injury, or damage to equipment.
•Do not transport, install, connect or inspect the product while the power is supplied. Doing so may result in electric
shock.
•Do not touch the driver while the power is supplied. Doing so may result in re or electric shock.
•When an alarm of the driver is generated (any of the driver's protective functions is triggered), remove the cause
before resetting the alarm (protective function). Continuing the operation without removing the cause of the
problem may cause malfunction of the motor and the driver, leading to injury or damage to equipment.
Installation
•Install the driver in an enclosure. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury.
Connection
•Observe the product specications for the power supply voltage of the driver. Failure to do so may result in re or
electric shock.
•Connect the product securely according to the connection diagram. Failure to do so may result in re or electric
shock.
•Do not forcibly bend, pull, or pinch the connection cable. Doing so may result in re or electric shock.
Operation
•Turn o the main power supply and the control power supply in the event of a power failure. Failure to do so may
result in injury or damage to equipment.
•Do not remove the motor excitation during operation. Doing so may cause the motor to stop and lose the holding
force, resulting in injury or damage to equipment.
Repair, disassembly, and modication
•Do not disassemble or modify the driver. Doing so may result in injury or damage to equipment.

Safety precautions
1 Introduction
11
General
•Do not use the driver beyond the specications. Doing so may result in electric shock, injury, or damage to
equipment.
•Keep your ngers and objects out of the openings in the driver. Failure to do so may result in re, electrical shock,
or injury.
•Do not touch the driver while operating or immediately after stopping. Doing so may result in a skin burn(s).
•Do not forcibly bend or pull the cable that is connected to the driver. Doing so may cause damage to the product.
Installation
•Keep the area around the driver free of combustible materials. Failure to do so may result in re or a skin burn(s).
•Do not leave anything around the driver that would obstruct ventilation. Doing so may result in damage to
equipment.
Operation
•Use a motor and a driver only in the specied combination. An incorrect combination may cause a re.
•Take measures against static electricity when operating the switches of the driver. Failure to do so may result in the
driver malfunction or damage to equipment.
•Provide an emergency-stop device or emergency-stop circuit external to the equipment so that the entire
equipment will operate safely in the event of a system failure or malfunction. Failure to do so may result in injury.
•When moving the moving part manually, put the motor into a non-excitation state. Continuing the work while the
motor is in an excitation state may result in injury.
•For the main power supply and the control power supply, use a DC power supply with reinforced insulation on its
primary and secondary sides. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
•When an abnormal condition has occurred, immediately stop operation to turn o the main power supply and
control power supply. Failure to do so may result in re, electrical shock, or injury.

Precautions for use
1 Introduction

5 Precautions for use
This chapter explains restrictions and requirements the user should consider when using the product.
zAlways use Oriental Motor cables to connect a motor and a driver.
Refer to the cable models on p.31.
zWhen conducting the insulation resistance measurement or the dielectric strength test, be sure to
separate the connection between the motor and the driver.
Conducting the insulation resistance measurement or the dielectric strength test with the motor and driver
connected may result in damage to the product.
zNote when connecting a main power supply and a control power supply in a state of grounding the
positive side
The USB connector on the driver is not electrically insulated. When grounding the positive terminals of a main power
supply and a control power supply, do not connect any equipment (PC, etc.) whose negative terminal is grounded.
Doing so may cause the driver and this equipment to short, damaging both. When connecting, do not ground
equipment.
zSaving data to the non-volatile memory
Do not turn o the control power supply while writing the data to the non-volatile memory, and also do not turn o
for ve seconds after the completion of writing the data. Doing so may abort writing the data and cause an alarm of
EEPROM error to generate. The non-volatile memory can be rewritten approximately 100,000 times.
zNoise elimination measures
Refer to p.27 for noise elimination measures.
zRegeneration
When operating a large load inertia at a high speed, the regenerative energy generated may increase the voltage of
the main power supply, causing an alarm of Overvoltage to generate. To prevent damage to the driver, reconsider the
operating conditions so that regenerative voltage does not generate.
Notes when the connection cable is used
Note the following points when an Oriental Motor cable is used.
zWhen inserting the connector
Hold the connector main body, and insert it in straight securely. Inserting the connector in an inclined state may result
in damage to terminals or a connection failure.
zWhen pulling out the connector
Pull out the connector in straight while releasing the lock part of the connector. Pulling out the connector with
holding the cable may result in damage to the connector.
zBending radius of cable
Use the cable in a state where the bending radius of the cable is more
than six times of the cable diameter.
Do not bend the lead wires part or secure with a clamp, etc. Doing so
may result in damage to the connector.
More than 6 times
of cable diameter
Do not bend the lead wires part

Precautions for use
1 Introduction
13
zHow to x the cable
Fix the cable at two places near the connectors as shown in the gure or x it with a wide clamp to take measures to
prevent stress from being applied to the connectors.
Motor
Driver
In the case of a exible cable,
this area is a movable range.
