 Area free of excessive salt
 Area not subject to continuous vibration or excessive shocks
 Area free of excessive electromagnetic noise (from welders, power machinery, etc.)
 Area free of radioactive materials, magnetic fields or vacuum
 1000 m (3300 ft.) or lower above sea level

7.2 Installation method

Mount the driver to a 35 mm (1.38 in.) width DIN rail. 35 (1.38)
When installing two or more drivers in parallel, it is possible to install
them closely in the horizontal direction. Provide a minimum clearance

100 (3.94)
of 50 mm (1.97 in.) in the vertical direction.
When installing three or more drivers closely, the heat generation of
the inside drivers become high. Install the less frequently used drivers
toward the inside.
In this case, use the drivers in conditions where an ambient
temperature is 0 to +40 °C (+32 to +104 °F) and the standstill current
is 50% or less. 50 (1.97) or more

Unit: [mm (in.)]

Note  Install the driver in an enclosure whose pollution degree is 2 or better environment, or whose

8.5 Connecting the USB cable

Connect the USB cable that is satisfied the following specification to the USB communication
connector.
Specification USB2.0 (Full Speed)
Length: 3 m (9.8 ft.) or less
Cable
Type: A−mini-B

Note  Connect the driver and PC directly using the USB cable.
 In large electrically noisy environments, use the USB cable with a ferrite core or install a ferrite
core to the USB cable.

8.6 Noise measures

The electrical noise is of two types: One is a noise to invade into the driver from the outside and
cause the driver malfunction, and the other is a noise to emit from the driver and cause peripheral
equipments malfunction.
For the noise that is invaded from the outside, take measures to prevent the driver malfunction. It is
needed to take adequate measures because signal lines are very likely to be affected by the noise.
For the noise that is emitted from the driver, take measures to suppress it.

 Measures against electrical noise

There are the following three methods mainly to take measures against the electrical noise.

 Noise suppression
 When relays or electromagnetic switches are used together with the system, use noise filters and
CR circuits to suppress surges generated by them.
 Use an accessory cable (sold separately) when extending a wiring distance between the motor
and driver. This is effective in suppressing the electrical noise emitted from the motor.
 Cover the driver by a metal plate such as aluminum. This is effective in shielding the electrical
noise emitted from the driver.

−21−
Connection

 Prevention of noise propagation

 Connect a noise filter on the input side of the DC power supply.
 Place the power lines, such as the motor and power supply cables, keeping a distance of
200 mm (7.87 in.) or more from the signal lines, and also do not bundle them or wire them in
parallel. If the power cables and signal cables have to cross, cross them at a right angle.
 Use a shielded cable of AWG24 to 16 (0.2 to 1.25 mm ) for the power lines and signal lines.
2

 Keep cables as short as possible without coiling and bundling extra lengths.
 To ground a shielded cable, use a metal cable clamp that Shielded cable
Cable cramp
will maintain contact with the entire circumference of the
cable. Ground the cable clamp near the product.
 When grounding PE terminals of multiple drivers to a grounding point, it becomes more effective
to block the electrical noise since impedance on the grounding point is decreased. However,
ground them so that a potential difference does not occur among the grounding points. An
accessory driver cable including with a ground wire is available (sold separately). Refer to p.45 for
details.

 Suppression of effect by noise propagation

 Loop the noise propagated cable around a ferrite core. Doing so will prevent the propagated
noise invades into the driver or emits from the driver. The frequency band in which an effect by
the ferrite core can be seen is generally 1 MHz or more. Check the frequency characteristics of
the ferrite core used. To increase the effect of noise attenuation by the ferrite core, loop the cable
a lot.
 Change the transmission method of the pulse signal to the line driver type in order to prevent
noise effects. When the pulse signal of the controller is the open collector type, use an accessory
pulse signal converter for noise immunity (sold separately). Refer to p.45 for details.

 Noise suppression parts

 Noise filter
 Connect a noise filter (or quivalent) in the table below on the input side of the DC power supply.
When a power supply transformer is used, be sure to connect a noise filter on the AC input side
of the power supply transformer. Doing so will prevent the propagated noise through the power
line. Install the noise filter as close to the input terminals of DC power supply as possible.

Schaffner EMC FN2070-10-06

 Use the AWG18 (0.75 mm ) or thicker wire for the input and output cables of the noise filter, and
2

secure firmly using a cable clamp etc. so that the cable does not come off the enclosure.
 Place the input cable as far apart as possible from the output cable, and do not wire the cables in
parallel. If the input and output cable are placed at a close distance or if they are wired in parallel,
the noise in the enclosure affects the power cable through stray capacitance, and the noise
suppressing effect will reduce.
 Connect the ground terminal of the noise filter to the grounding point, using as thick and short a
wire as possible.

−22−
 Connection

 When connecting a noise filter in an enclosure, wire the input cable of the noise filter as short as
possible. Wiring in long distance may reduce the noise suppressing effect.

 Noise suppression parts (accessories)

Accessories are sold separately. Refer to p.45 for details.

 Driver cable
This cable is a shielded cable for good noise immunity to connect the driver and controller. The
ground wires useful to grounding are provided at both ends of the cable. The EMC measures are
conducted using the Oriental Motor driver cable.

 Pulse signal converter for noise immunity

This is a noise filter for pulse signal lines. It eliminates the noise of the pulse signal and changes
the pulse signal to the line driver type.

 Surge suppressor
This product is effective to suppress the surge which occurs in a relay contact part. Connect it when
using a relay or electromagnetic switch. CR circuit for surge suppression and CR circuit module are
provided.

8.7 Installing and wiring in compliance with EMC Directive

Effective measures must be taken against the EMI that the motor and driver may give to adjacent
control-system equipment, as well as the EMS of the motor and driver itself, in order to prevent
a serious functional impediment in the machinery. The use of the following installation and wiring
methods will enable the motor and driver to be compliant with the EMC directive. Refer to p.9 for the
applicable standards.
Oriental Motor conducts EMC measurements on its motors and drivers in accordance with
"Example of motor and driver installation and wiring" on p.24.
The user is responsible for ensuring the machine's compliance with the EMC Directive, based on
the installation and wiring explained below.

 Connecting the noise filter

In large electrically noisy environments, connect a noise filter. Rrefer to "Noise filter" on p.22 for
details.

 Connecting the power supply

Use a DC power supply compliant with the EMC Directive.
Wire and ground the power supply over the shortest possible distance using a shielded cable.
Refer to "Prevention of noise propagation" on p.22 for grounding the shielded cable.

 Connecting the motor cable

Use an accessory motor cable (sold separately) when extending the wiring distance between the
motor and driver.

 Connecting the signal cable

Refer to "Prevention of noise propagation" on p.22.

−23−
Connection

 How to ground
 The cable used to ground the motor, driver and noise filter must be as thick and short as possible
so that no potential difference is generated.
 Choose a large, thick and uniformly conductive surface for the grounding point.
 Be sure to ground the Protective Earth Terminal of the motor and driver. Refer to p.16 for grounding
method.

 Precautions about static electricity

Static electricity may cause the driver to malfunction or suffer damage. While the driver is receiving
power, handle the driver with care and do not come near or touch the driver.
Always use an insulated screwdriver to adjust the driver's switches.
Note The driver uses parts that are sensitive to electrostatic charge. Before touching the driver, turn off
the power to prevent electrostatic charge from generating. If an electrostatic charge is impressed
on the driver, the driver may be damaged.

 Explanation of I/O signals

9 Explanation of I/O signals

9.1 Input signals

The following input signals of the driver are photocoupler inputs. The signal state represents the
"ON: Carrying current" or "OFF: Not carrying current" state of the internal photocoupler rather than
the voltage level of the signal.

 CW (PLS) input, CCW (DIR) input

These inputs serve as the CW and CCW inputs in the 2-pulse input mode, or PLS and DIR inputs in
the 1-pulse input mode. Set the pulse input mode of the driver according to the pulse output mode
of the controller (pulse generator) used with the driver. When inputting the pulse, check the PLS-
RDY output is turned ON.
ON
PLS-RDY output
OFF
0 s or more

Note When the motor is at standstill, be sure to keep the photocoupler in OFF state.

 Maximum input pulse frequency

 When the controller is of line driver type: 1 MHz (duty cycle is 50%)
 When the controller is of open-collector type: 250 kHz (duty cycle is 50%)

 ZHOME input
When the ZHOME input is turned ON, the motor will move to the home position set by the HOME
PRESET switch. Since it does not require sensors, return-to-home is possible at high-speed.

−25−
Explanation of I/O signals

 FREE input
When the FREE input is turned ON, the motor current will be cut off. When an electromagnetic
brake motor is used, the electromagnetic brake will be released.
The motor output shaft can be rotated manually since the motor holding torque is lost.
Note Do not turn the FREE input ON when driving a vertical load. Since the motor loses its holding
torque, the load may drop.

 STOP input
When the STOP input is turned ON, the motor will stop. Pulse input will also be disabled. When
inputting pulses, turn the STOP input OFF.
Note When the motor was stopped by the STOP input, be sure to turn the pulse input OFF. If the STOP
input is turned OFF while inputting pulses, the motor may suddenly start rotating.

 ALM-RST input
If the ALM-RST input is turned from OFF to ON while an alarm is generated, the alarm will be reset
(The alarm will be reset at the ON edge of the ALM-RST input).
Before resetting an alarm, turning the pulse input OFF, and then remove the cause of the alarm and
ensure safety.
Note that some alarms cannot be reset with the ALM-RST input.

 FW-JOG input, RV-JOG input

These signals are used to start JOG operation.
The motor continuously operates in the forward direction when turning the FW-JOG input ON, and
the motor continuously operates in the reverse direction when turning the RV-JOG input ON. If the
signal having inputted is turned OFF, the motor will stop.
If the FWD-JOG and RVS-JOG inputs are turned ON simultaneously, the motor will stop.

9.2 Output signals

The driver outputs signals in the photocoupler/open-collector output mode or line driver output
mode. The signal state represents the "ON: Carrying current" or "OFF: Not carrying current" state
of the internal photocoupler rather than the voltage level of the signal.

 HOME-END output
When the home position is set or when high-speed return-to-home operation is complete, the
HOME-END output turns ON.

 IN-POS output
When the motor operation is complete, the IN-POS output will turn ON.
When the motor detection position is in a range of the "(IN-POS)Positioning completion signal
range" parameter (initial value: 1.8°) as a center of the command position, the IN-POS output turns
ON.

When the driver is ready to execute operation by inputting pulses, the PLS-RDY output turns ON.
Input the pulse to the driver after the PLS-RDY output has turned ON.

−26−
 Explanation of I/O signals

 READY output
When the driver is ready to execute operation, the READY output turns ON. Input the pulse or
operation start signal to the driver after the READY output has turned ON.

 MOVE output
The MOVE output turns ON while the motor is operating.

 ALM-B output
When an alarm generates, the ALM-B output will turn OFF, and the motor will stop. At the same
time, the POWER/ALARM LED on the driver will blink in red. The ALM-B output is normally closed.

 ASG output, BSG output

The ASG output is used to output pulses according to motor operation. The motor position can be
monitored by counting the ASG output pulses. The number of output pulses per motor revolution
varies depending on the resolution effective when turning the power on.
The BSG output has a 90° phase difference with respect to the ASG output. The motor rotation
direction can be determined by detecting the BSG output level at the rise of the ASG output.
CW rotation CCW rotation

Note  The ASG output and BSG output are subject to a maximum delay of 0.1 ms with respect to
motor operation. Use these outputs to check the position at which the motor is stopped.
 Connect a termination resistor of 100  or more between the driver and the input of the line
receiver.

Set a pulse input mode of the driver according to the pulse output mode of the controller (pulse
generator) used with the driver. Set a desired mode using the SW1-No.2 of the function setting
switch. The factory setting of the pulse input mode depends on the destination country.

OFF: 2-pulse input mode

ON: 1-pulse input mode

10.3 Base current

Set the base current rate (%) for the operating current and standstill current. Set using the current
setting switch (CURRENT). If the load is small and there is an ample allowance for torque, motor
temperature rise can be suppressed by setting a lower operating current.
The actual operating current and standstill current are as follows.
 Operating current: Maximum output current × Base current rate
 Standstill current: Maximum output current × Base current rate × 0.5
The dial settings and corresponding base current rates are listed below.

10.4 Command filter

The motor response to input pulses can be adjusted with the command filter setting switch (FIL).
When setting a higher value for the command filter, lower vibration at low speed operation or
smoother operation at starting/stopping of the motor can be achieved. However, if this setting is
too high, synchronization performance is decreased. Set a suitable value based on the load or
application.
