αSTEP AR Series Built-In Controller Type Operation Types/Pulse Input Type Main Additional Functions by Extended Setting

Built-In Controller Type Operation Types

In the built-in controller type, the operating speed and traveling amount of the motor are set with operation data, and operation is performed according to the selected operation data.

Positioning Operation

Operating Pattern

Single-Motion Operation

A PTP (Point to Point) positioning operation.

Single-Motion Operation
Linked Operation

A multistep speed-change positioning operation that is linked with operation data.

Linked Operation
Linked Operation 2

A positioning operation with a timer that is linked with operation data.
The timer (dwell time) can be set from 0~50.000 [s]. (Setting Unit: 0.001 [s])

Linked Operation
Push-Motion Operation*

Continuous pressurizing position operations are performed with respect to the load.
Max. operating speed is 30 [r/min] on the motor shaft.

Push-Motion Operation
  • *Do not perform push-motion operation using geared types.
    Doing so may damage the motor or gearhead.
+

<Start Methods>

  • Operation Data Selection Method
  • Direct Positioning
  • Sequential Positioning

Return-To-Home Operation

2-Sensor Mode

A return-to-home operation that uses limit sensors (+LS, −LS).

2-Sensor Mode

3-Sensor Mode

A return-to-home operation that uses limit sensors and a HOME sensor.

3-Sensor Mode

Push Mode*

A return-to-home operation by pushing the table against the mechanical end of a linear slide, etc.

Push Mode
  • *Do not perform push-motion operation using geared types.
    Doing so may damage the motor or gearhead.

Position Preset

  • A function where P-PRESET is input at the desired position to confirm the home position.
  • The home position can be set to the desired value.

Continuous Operation

  • Number of Speed Points: 64 points (No. 0~63)
  • Speed Change Method: Changes the operation data number.
Continuous Operation

Other Operations*

JOG Operation (Test operation)

Regular feed is performed by inputting +JOG or −JOG.

Automatic Return Operation

When the motor position is moved by an external force while the motor is in a non-excitation state, it automatically returns to the position where it originally stopped.

  • *Equipped with a sequence for return-to-home operation that reduces the burden of the host master and the hassle of creating a ladder.

Pulse Input Type Main Additional Functions With Extended Settings

Item Overview Base Setting Extended Settings
Selection of Pulse Input Mode 1-pulse input mode or 2-pulse input mode (negative logic) can be selected. ● ●

In addition to the normal settings, the phase difference input can also be set.

  • 1-Pulse Input Mode (Positive Logic/Negative Logic)
  • 2-Pulse Input Mode (Positive Logic/Negative Logic)
  • Phase Difference Input (1-Multiplication/2-Multiplication/4-Multiplication)
