    Compatible wire diameter: KIV0.75mm2 (AWG18)
◆How to Conduct Wiring
  1. Peal the sheath for 7mm and twist the core wires lightly.

  2. Insert a precision screwdriver fully into the tool insertion slot.
    Press the spring within the connector down.

  3. Insert the core wire.

  4. Pull out the precision screwdriver.
    Confirm that the cable is not pulled out.

Caution

  • Take care not to twist the core wire too far. This will reduce the retention force, causing the wire to fall out of the connector and possibly causing insufficient current or short circuit.
  • Do not insert the precision screwdriver violently into the connector, or twist it hard. This may damage the connector housing and internal spring
  • If an electric wire thinner than the applicable diameter or wiring longer than 10m is used, insufficient current may trigger an alarm and the performance of the ELECYLINDER may be degraded.
24V DC Power Supply Wiring
Wiring for Power Supply Standard Type
Connect the power wiring to the power & I/O connector.
Connect the 1. and 2. wiring to the connector terminal block while referring to the connection diagram.
  1. Connect the "B1" connector terminal and the +24V terminal of the 24V DC power supply.
  2. Connect the "A1" connector terminal and the 0V terminal of the 24V DC power supply.

Reference

  • When establishing an external stop switch, add a b-contact switch to the "B1" terminal wiring. This shuts off the 24V (driving source) power supply in the stopped state (control/drive power OFF).
2-circuit power supply specification TMD2 (Option) wiring
Connect the power wiring to the power & I/O connector.
Connect the 1. to 3. wiring to the connector terminal block while referring to the connection diagram.
  1. Connect the "B1" connector terminal and the +24V (Driving Source) terminal of the 24V DC power supply.
  2. Connect the "A2" connector terminal and the +24V (Control) terminal of the 24V DC power supply.
  3. Connect the "A1" connector terminal and the 0V terminal of the 24V DC power supply.

Reference

  • When establishing an external stop switch, add a b-contact switch to the "B1" terminal wiring. This shuts off the 24V (driving source) power supply in the stopped state (control/drive power OFF).
Wiring of Drive Cutoff Switch in Order to Make Stop
When ELECYLINDER is to be stopped with an external switch, the motor drive source should be cut off.
By setting an external switch on the +24V power supply line for the drive power source, ELECYLINDER can be stopped.
Even though there is a stop switch on a teaching pendant, there is no such stop switch equipped in the PC software.
In order to have a work such as teaching, it is necessary to have a drive cutoff switch externally.
Here shows an example of having a cutoff of the power supply on one unit of ELECYLINDER.
(*) Unless it is TMD2 type (option), the control power supply to a controller should turn off at the same time as the drive power supply. When cutting off the control power supply is not desired, select TMD2 with 2-circuit power supply specification (option).

Caution

  • When the power supply is conducted with turning on/off the 24V DC, keep the 0V connected, and have the +24V supplied/cut off (cutoff on one end).
    Shutting power supply on the both ends may make the electric potential unstable when the power gets cut on the 0V end first.
    This may cause malfunction of components inside the controller.
  • Make sure to secure 1second or more after shutting off the power supply before rebooting.
  • Do not attempt to supply only the motor power supply while there is no control power supply.

Way of wiring
When wiring the power supply connection on the power & I/O connectors, refer to the connection diagram to connect the drive cut off switch to the power supply line (wiring of "B1" Terminal) for +24V.
By cutting off the power supply of 24V, it should turn into the stop state (control/drive power supply off, drive power supply off for TMD2).
◆Stop switch
  • Dry contact (b-contact)
  • Refer to the requirement specifications in the table below for the current amperage

PLC Wiring
For I/O between the PLC and signals, the signal wiring must be connected to the connector terminal block.
Connect the 1. to 6. wiring to the connector terminal block while referring to the connection diagram.
  1. Connect the "B3" connector terminal and the "Backward" ("Forward/Backward" for single solenoid system) output terminal.
  2. Connect the "B4" connector terminal and the "Forward" output terminal.
    (Note) There is no need of connecting "B4" terminal for the single solenoid system.
  3. Connect the "B5" connector terminal and the "Alarm clear" output terminal.
  4. Connect the "A3" connector terminal and the "Backward complete" input terminal.
  5. Connect the "A4" connector terminal and the "Forward complete" input terminal.
  6. Connect the "A5" connector terminal and the "Alarm" input terminal.

Brake Release Wiring
For the specification with brake, when installing a forcible brake release switch, connect wiring to the "B2" connector terminal.
It is not necessary to layout cables when the ELECYLINDER is not equipped with a brake or when it is not required to have the compulsory brake release.
Power capacity of 24V DC ±10% / 200mA or higher is required.
