The range covers from the retracted end (0%) to the calibration set point (100%). The range is divided into 8 sections. The duration for which the piston remains (during  both operating and stopping) in the specified area is recorded for 1 hour by the controller.

Caution
If the power supply voltage is disconnected before 1 hour has passed, the accumulated time (less than one hour) will be reset. For example, when the power supply voltage is stopped for 1 hour and 45 minutes, the accumulated time will be 1 hour. When the power supply voltage is turned on again, the accumulation starts from 1 hour. When calibration is performed again, the recorded data is reset.

Caution
When setting the cylinder bore size, set the cylinder bore size of the body (IN-777) used.
When different bore size is set, vibration may occur or piston rod positioning may fail.

11. Operation Mode and Functions
This model can set the JOG operation, Calibration and Emergency stop by Air Servo Cylinder signal input and HART communication. The operation with each method is explained below.

  1. JOG operation, Calibration and Emergency stop operation by Air Servo Cylinder input signal When JOG operation and Calibration are performed by Air Servo Cylinder input signal, set the operation mode (Menu Tree No.1-3-5-2) to 4-20mA. Emergency stop is valid for all the setting of Operation mode (Menu Tree No.1-3-5-2). Refer to 7-1. JOG Operation, 7-2 Calibration and 7-5 Emergency Stop of the operation manual (K35OMW0030) for the signal input method of each operation.
  2. Operation by HART communication

2-1 JOG operation
Set the Operation mode (Menu Tree No.1-3-5-2) to JOG.
Each operation is performed by setting JOG operation (Menu Tree No.1-3-5-4-3) to Stop, Extend and Retract. The default setting is Stop.
If JOG operation is set to Extend or Retract when Operation mode is set to JOG, perform Stop once and then perform Extend and/or Retract.

2-2 Calibration
The piston rod movement range (set point) can be set when using the Target position operation (refer to 7-3). By performing the Calibration, the relationship between the  piston rod position (from the retracted end to the set point) and the current value (4-20 mA) input to Sig-in+ and Sig-in- can be set.
Once the Calibration is performed, the set point is stored in the product and will be recorded even when the power supply is OFF.
There are two types of Calibration mode; Automatic and Manual.
The set point is not set when the product is shipped from the factory.
For how to change the calibration mode (Automatic mode or Manual mode), refer to the 7-2-1.
Change the mode Operation manual (K35-OMW0030).

2-2-1 Auto calibration
Set the Operation mode (Menu Tree No.1-3-5-2) to JOG.
Auto calibration is performed by turning ON the Calibration (Menu Tree No.1-3-5-4-2). The position at which the piston rod must stop for 1 second, due to an external  stopper or cylinder extended end, is set as a set point. The default Calibration setting is OFF.

2-2-2 Manual calibration
Set the Operation mode (Menu Tree No.1-3-5-2) to JOG.
Perform JOG operation (Menu Tree No.1-3-5-4-3) by turning ON Extend or Retract to move the piston rod to the required stop position by turning ON Stop (example:  position where an external stopper is located). When the calibration is ON, the position where the piston rod stops is set as a set point. The default Calibration setting is OFF.
If Calibration is ON after setting the Operation mode to JOG, turn OFF the Calibration once and turn it ON again.

2-3 Emergency stop
Emergency stop is performed by turning OFF the E-Stop off (Menu Tree No.1-3-5-4-1). Emergency stop is valid for all the setting of Operation mode (Menu Tree No.1-3-5-2). The default setting is OFF.

4-20 mA mode

When the operation (Target position operation) where the cylinder is operation by input current (4-20mA)
is performed, set the Operation mode (Menu Tree No.1-3-5-2) to 4-20mA. Refer to 7-3. Target Position Operation for the signal input method.

No signal operation

When an analog input signal of 3.5 mA or less is input, the piston rod operates according to the No signal operation setting set beforehand (Refer to 10.Setting “1. Setting by Air Servo Cylinder switch” or “2-3. No signal operation”).
