Installing EZED1Chapter

This chapter explains the installation procedure for EZED1.

EZED1 is a Windows application that sets and edits the operation data and parame-ters required to operate an actuator (slider or cylinder), and stores data in a person-al computer. It also monitors the status of the I/O signals connected to a controller.

1.1 Required System ConfigurationThe installation of EZED1 on a personal computer requires one of the following oper-ating systems and a personal computer compatible with the operating system you’llbe using.

� Operating Systems� Microsoft Windows 95 Service Pack 1 or later∗� Microsoft Windows 98� Microsoft Windows Me� Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Service Pack 6 or later

(Hereinafter referred to as Windows NT 4.0)� Microsoft Windows 2000� Microsoft Windows XP∗ Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 1 or later is also required. Service Pack signi-

fies a service pack provided by Microsoft Corporation.

5.1 Data Required for OperationEZED1 lets you set the data required for various operations, including positioning op-eration, continuous operation, return to electrical home operation and return to me-chanical home operation.A total of 63 positioning operation data (no-01 to no-63) can be set. For the contin-uous operations, return to electrical home operation and return to mechanical homeoperation, one data can be set.

5.1.1 Positioning OperationThe positioning operation is an operation inwhich you set the speed and travel amount ofthe actuator as data and execute it. When youexecute the positioning operation, the actuatorstarts at the starting speed and accelerates un-til it reaches the operating speed. Once the ac-tuator reaches the operating speed, it main-tains a constant speed. When the actuator ap-proaches the stopping position, it deceleratesand then stops. Among these actuator opera-tions, the travel amount and operating speedare set as positioning operation data, while thestarting speed, acceleration and decelerationare set as parameters. The starting speed, ac-celeration and deceleration set as parametersare commonly used for all positioning opera-tions. By specifying the linked-motion opera-tion, the actuator can start the next operationwithout stopping the operation it’s currently ex-ecuting.

5.1.2 Continuous OperationThe continuous operation is an operation inwhich the actuator continues operating until theSTOP input signal becomes active. When theSTOP input signal becomes active, the actua-tor decelerates and then stops. In the contin-uous operation, set the operation speed as da-ta. For the starting speed, acceleration and de-celeration, the values set as parameters areused.

5.1.3 Return-to-Home OperationThe return-to-home operation is an operation to return the actuator to the home posi-tion (sensor position).Two types of return-to-home operations—the 2-sensor mode and 3-sensor mode—are available, depending on the number of detection sensors installed in the system.The 2-sensor mode returns the actuator to the home position at a constant speed us-ing two types of sensors (+LS and -LS). The home position is either at +LS or -LS.The 3-sensor mode returns the actuator to the home position at a high speed usingthree types of sensors (+LS, -LS, HOMELS). The home position is at HOMELS.If the home offset is specified from the home position, the actuator moves by theamount of offset and then stops upon the completion of the return-to-home operation.The return-to-home operation will stop at the electrical home position.

5.1.4 Mechanical Home Position and Electrical Home PositionThe EZMC36A/EZMC36I controller counts theamount of travel using a counter within the con-troller during an operation. The position atwhich the counter value is set to 0 is called theelectrical home position. When the return-to-home operation is executed, the value of the in-ternal counter returns to 0, thus setting theelectrical home position at the mechanicalhome position. However, if the home offset hasbeen set, the home offset position will be setas the electrical home position.

Setting range 0: Normal1: Push-motion

Initial value 0Description Sets either the normal (single-motion/ linked-motion) or

push-motion operation. The push-motion operation isan operation in which the load is continuously subject-ed to pressure. The execution distance of this opera-tion is set by a common parameter called the “push dis-tance”.

Setting range 0: Single-motion1: Linked-motion

Initial value 0Description Sets either the single-motion or linked-motion opera-

tion. The linked-motion operation starts the next op-eration using the next operation data without stoppingthe execution of the current operation that uses thecurrent operation data. It allows a continuous opera-tion until an operation data for which “single-motion”is selected is reached. Only operation data of thesame direction can be linked.

Operation data � Disable (1) /Enable (0), ABS/INS, position, operating speed, acceleration, deceleration, single-motion/ linked-motion, normal /push-motion

I /O parameters � PAUSE logic, stop action, STOP logic, sensor enable/disable, LS logic, HOME logic, overtravel logic

Motor parameters � Operating current, standstill current

Home parameters � Return direction, home offset, return mode, starting speed of return, operating speed of return

Speed parameters � Starting speed, acceleration, deceleration, common operating speed, push-motion operation speed

Common parameters � Push distance, push current, softlimit disable/enable, upper softlimit, lower softlimit, area 1, area 2, coordinate setting

Setting range 0: Immediate stop (stops the actuator instanta-neously)

1: Deceleration stop (stops the actuator using thevalue set as the deceleration)

Initial value 0Description Sets the action of the actuator in the event of an

overtravel error. Overtravel occurs when the actu-ator operates beyond ±LS.

Setting range 0: Contact A (normally-open)1: Contact B (normally-closed)

Initial value 0Description Sets the input logic of the HOMELS input.

This is valid only for the 3-sensor mode.


Initial value 0Description Sets the input logic of the ±LS input.

Setting range -9999.990 to +9999.990 mm(-393.70 to +393.70 inch)

Initial value 0

Description Sets the softlimit value on the -LS side.

Setting range 0: Current OFF

1: Immediate stop (stops the actuator instanta-neously)

Initial value 1

Description Sets the action of the actuator when the E-STOPinput becomes active.

Setting range 0: Does not stop the actuator in the event of a soft-ware overtravel error.

1: Stops the actuator in the event of a softwareovertravel error.

Initial value 1Description Sets the operation of the actuator in the event of a

software overtravel error. Software overtravel oc-curs when the actuator operates beyond the limitset by the software.

Setting range 0.015 to 300.000 m/s2 (0.05 to 984 ft/sec2)Initial value 0.015 m/s2 (0.05 ft/sec2)Description Sets the starting speed. The starting speed spec-

ified here is commonly used during positioning op-eration, continuous operation and return to electri-cal home operation.
