before switching to automatic operation.

z When carrying out confirmation operation inside the safety fences, follow the

specified work procedure just like during teaching.

z When confirming the program operation, use the safety speed. Failure to do so

may result in an unexpected movement due to programming errors, etc.,

causing injury.

z Do not touch the terminal blocks and various setting switches while the power is

supplied. Touching these parts may result in electric shock or malfunction.

7 Automatic

operation

z Before commencing automatic operation, make sure no one is inside the safety

fences.

z Before commencing automatic operation, make sure all related peripherals are

ready to operate in the auto mode and no abnormalities are displayed or

indicated.

z Be sure to start automatic operation from outside the safety fences.

z If the product generated abnormal heat, smoke, odor or noise, stop the product

immediately and turn off the power switch. Failure to do so may result in fire or

product damage.

z If a power outage occurred, turn off the power switch. Otherwise, the product

may move suddenly when the power is restored, resulting in injury or product

damage.

8 Maintenance/

inspection

z Whenever possible, work from outside the safety fences. If work must be

performed inside the safety fences, prepare “work rules” and make sure the

operator understands the procedures thoroughly.

z When working inside the safety fences, turn off the power switch, as a rule.

z When working inside the safety fences, the operator should carry a handy

emergency stop switch so that the operation can be stopped any time when an

abnormality occurs.

z When working inside the safety fences, appoint a safety watcher in addition to

the operator so that the operation can be stopped any time when an abnormality

occurs. The safety watcher must also make sure the switches are not operated

inadvertently by a third party.

z Put up a sign saying “WORK IN PROGRESS” in a conspicuous location.

z Use appropriate grease for the guides and ball screws by checking the operation

manual for each model.

z Do not perform a withstand voltage test. Conducting this test may result in

product damage.

z When releasing the brake of a vertically installed actuator, be careful not to

pinch your hand or damage the work part, etc., due to the slider dropping by its

dead weight.

* Safety fences --- Indicate the movement range if safety fences are not provided.

9 Modification z The customer must not modify or disassemble/assemble the product or use

maintenance parts not specified in the manual without first consulting IAI.

z Any damage or loss resulting from the above actions will be excluded from the

scope of warranty.

10 Disposal z When the product becomes no longer usable or necessary, dispose of it

properly as an industrial waste.

z When disposing of the product, do not throw it into fire. The product may

explode or generate toxic gases.

3. PSEL Controller Functions

The functions provided by the PSEL controller are structured in the following manner.

The PSEL controller has the “program mode” in which SEL programs are input to operate the actuator(s),

and the “positioner mode” in which position numbers are specified from the host PLC to operate the

actuator(s).

The positioner mode provides five sub-modes to meet the needs of various applications.

The program mode has been selected at the factory prior to the shipment of the controller (Other

parameter No. 25 = 0).

Caution: Two modes cannot be selected at the same time.

Program mode

Positioner mode Standard mode

Product switching mode
