1 Characteristics of the AZ Series
Built-in ABZO sensor
The ABZO sensor is a small-sized low-cost mechanical multi-
rotation absolute sensor that does not require a battery.
It can detect the absolute positions for 1800 revolutions of the
motor shaft from the reference home position, so the position is
never missed.
* The motors of frame size 20 mm (0.79 in.) or 28 mm (1.10 in.) are for 900
revolutions.
No external sensor is required
Return-to-home operation can be executed without using external sensors such as the home position sensor and
limit sensors.
zSaving of wiring
zCost-cutting for the system
zNot inuenced by malfunction of the sensor
No external sensor is required
Return-to-home time has been shortened
zNo return-to-home operation is required
Since the position information is maintained even if the power is interrupted, positioning operation can be continued
without return-to-home operation after emergency stop or power failure.
zHigh-speed return-to-home
Since the ABZO sensor stores the home position, the motor can return to the home position at a high speed.
Home position detection of traditional position-
control motors
The home position is detected at a low speed by sensing
the limit sensor and the home position sensor.
Home position detection of the AZ
Series
The motor directly returns to the home position
stored in the ABZO sensor at a high speed.

No battery is required
No battery is required because the position information is maintained by the ABZO sensor.
zReduction of maintenance frequency
zReplacing a battery is not required
zThe position information is maintained for a long transportation period of equipment

2 Operations possible with the AZ Series
Execute operation by setting the motor operating speed, position (travel amount)
and other items as operation data
Stored data (SD) operation p.55
Positioning operation is performed. Push-motion operation is performed. Continuous operation is performed.

The command position of the rotating mechanism is returned to "0" for
every rotation.
The position and the speed can be set easily
with the MEXE02.
Wrap function p.142
Use of sequence function
Linked operations are repeated for the number of times specied.
When you use the loop oset function, you can increase or decrease the travel amount every time the operation is repeated.

Operation is transited by setting an arbitrary I/O signal as a trigger.
The motor can transit to a dierent operation depending on whether or not the trigger signal has been detected.

Return to the home position
The motor returns to the home position at the speed same
as normal positioning operation without using an external
sensor.
The motor returns to the home position by using external
sensors or the stopper on the machine.

High-speed return-to-home
operation p.105 Return-to-home operation p.107
Perform test operation and operation check
zMacro operation (_p.121)
A specic input signal is turned ON to execute the operation corresponding to the signal.
The operating speed, travel amount, acceleration/deceleration rate are set with parameters.
Start operation at the same time as writing of operation data
(Modbus RTU)
zDirect data operation (_p.302)
You can use this operation to change the setting of operation data frequently, to change the speed and travel amount
according to the load, for example.
When the data of the trigger set to be reected is input by using the touch panel, etc., it is reected to the operation
at the same time as input.
Perform operation by inputting pulses
zPulse-input operation (_p.481)
Operation data are set to the master controller to execute operation. The operation data to be executed are selected
in the master controller.
Pulse input operation cannot be executed with the built-in controller type driver.

5 Expansion of supported contents
For drivers of the AZ Series, the rmware can be updated using the support software MEXE02 (ver.3.51 or later).
Download the latest MEXE02 from Oriental Motor Website Download Page.
•Stop the motor before starting the update of rmware.
•Check on the Oriental Motor Website for the latest rmware version.
1. Click on [AZ driver rmware update] from the
[Support] menu.
2. Click [OK].
3. Click [Yes].
Updating the rmware starts.
•Do not turn o the driver power until the update of rmware is completed.
•Once the update of rmware is executed, the version cannot be returned to the previous one.
•If the rmware has already been updated, the following dialog box is shown.
4. After it is completed, click [OK].
The rmware version can be checked with the unit information monitor.
Even if the rmware is updated, the settings for the operation data and parameters before updating
have been retained.
