Description Details
Target
position
data
24-bit
data
---
Set a signed 24-bit integer (unit: 0.01 mm) based
on hexadecimal notation
Example) To specify +25.4 mm, set “0009ECH”
(“2540” in decimal notation).
(Notes)
The maximum settable value is +9999.99 mm =
999999 (decimal value) = 0F423FH
(hexadecimal value).
A negative value is indicated by a two’s
complement. Accordingly, the most significant bit
becomes “1.”
Set position data within the soft stroke limits.

Current-
limiting
value for
push
motion
8-bit
data
---
To set the push force, set the current-limiting value
for push motion as a hexadecimal value (unit: %).
The setting range is from “00H” to “FFH,” with FFH
corresponding to 100%.
Example) To specify 50%, set “7FH”
(corresponding to the decimal value of
127 obtained by FFH (255) x 50%).
7.3 (4)
Speed
24-bit
data
---
Set a 24-bit integer (unit: 0.01 mm/sec) based on
hexadecimal notation
Example) To specify 200 mm/sec, set “004E20H”
(“20000” in decimal notation).
(Note)
If speed is not set or the set speed is “0,” the
actuator will remain stopped. No alarm will
generate.
If the set speed is changed to “0” during
movement, the actuator will decelerate to a stop.

PLC output
Acceleration/
deceleration
8-bit
data
---
Set an eight-bit integer (unit: 0.01 G) based on
hexadecimal notation.
Example) To specify 0.2 G, set “14H” (“20” in
decimal notation).
The maximum value is “C8H” (“200” in decimal
notation) corresponding to 2 G.
(Note)
Even if acceleration/deceleration is not set, the
setting of parameter No. 9, “Default
acceleration/deceleration” will not be applied.
