Overview
ELECYLINDER (hereinafter described as EC) is a controller built-in electrical actuator for 2-point positioning. By selecting MF Option, it should become available for the 3-point positioning.
EC was developped under a concept of a product that is easy for users who use an electrical actuator for the first time and that enables them to have "simple" operations. It is made to be simple enough for operation with small number of PIO points (3 in / 3 out) so it can be handles just like an air cylinder.
EC mainly equips two type, one in the pulse motor mounted models and the other in the 200VAC servomotor mounted models. Refer to an instruction manual of each ELECYLIDER for the mounted motor.
Also, there are three types for ejection methods of external interface for pulse motor mounted models.
The "interface built-in type" possesses connectors and serial ports equipped on ELECYLINDER main body to put I/O and power supply cables directly. The "dust and splash proof type" possesses a structure to have its interface away from the ELECYLINDER main body in order to ensure dust and splash proof performance on the ELECYLINDER main body.
The "interface separate type" possesses the specification to attach an interface box when PIO control is to be performed and to join the actuator cable directly for connection to the EC connection unit to be used in the RCON system. (Refer to System Construction of Pulse Motor Equipped Models)

As an option of the EC series, there is "digital speed controller" which can be operated directly in your hand by mounting a panel for operation on an actuator without a teaching tool. This product enables a user for installation of equipment or a user who does not have a teaching tool to operate EC simply and intuitively and to lower a bar further to introduce ELECYLINDER.
Refer to Digital Speed Controller Instruction Manual (ME3818) for the digital speed controller.
Refer to Digital Speed Controller Instruction Manual (ME3818) for the digital speed controller.
Refer to instruction manuals for such as EC main unit, teaching pendant and PC teaching software together with this manual when in the actual installation of equipment or a malfunction is occurred.
It is impossible to state everything including unexpected phenomena such as a complicated signal change at a dangerous timing which are out of the normal operation. Therefore, take the things that are not described in this manual as an “impossible” thing.
