Turning on servo amplifier for the first time • For the controller settings, refer to the relevant controller manual. • For the gain adjustment, refer to the following. MR-J5 User's Manual (Adjustment) When turning on the servo amplifier for the first time, follow the steps below. Procedure Description Reference...
Test operation of the servo motor alone in test operation mode • If the servo motor operates in an unintended manner, stop the servo motor with EM2 (Forced stop 2). Check that the servo amplifier and servo motor operate normally. With the servo motor disconnected from the machine, use the test operation mode and check whether the servo motor operates correctly.
To operate the servo motor, input the motor speed and acceleration/deceleration time constants, then click "Forward CCW" or "Reverse CW". The servo motor operates only while the button is being clicked. Give a low speed command at first and check the operation status. After the test operation is complete, turn off the power and "OFF (down)"...
Operation by controller command Confirm that the servo motor operates correctly under the commands from the controller. Give a low speed command at first to check the servo motor operations such as the rotation direction. If the servo motor does not operate in the intended direction, check the input signal.
Instructions on startup Instructions for power-on • When the absolute position detection system is used in a rotary servo motor, [AL. 025 Absolute position erased] occurs the first time that the power is turned on and the servo motor cannot be changed to servo-on status. Shut off the power once, then cycle the power to deactivate the alarm.
Duplicate setting Servo amplifier parameters for which setting has been completed can be copied to another servo amplifier. Use this function when replacing the servo amplifier of equipment with another servo amplifier during operation, and when starting up multiple devices with the same configuration. Restrictions ■The following data is not duplicated.
Test operation mode Setting the servo amplifier to the test operation mode enables the test operation while the personal computer and servo amplifier are connected via a USB cable. Turn off the power. Turn "ON (up)" the test operation select switch (SW3-1). SFTY Set SW3-1 to "ON (up)".

Motor-less operation • The motor-less operation cannot be used in the linear servo motor control mode or direct drive motor control mode. Without connecting a servo motor to the servo amplifier, output signals or status displays can be provided in response to the controller commands as if the servo motor is actually running.
Output signal (DO) forced output This function forcibly switches the output signals on and off regardless of the servo status. Use this function for purposes such as checking output signal wiring. Operate this function on the DO Forced Output screen of MR Configurator2. Each output signal can be turned on/off by clicking the ON/OFF button next to its name.
Servo amplifier setting initialization Servo amplifier settings can be initialized by using the engineering tool (MR Mode Change packed with MR Configurator2). However, information related to the servo amplifier, including power-on cumulative time and the number of relays on/off, is not initialized.
MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION AND PARTS REPLACEMENT Inspection items Precautions • Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the product. • For repair and parts replacement, contact your local sales office. • To prevent a malfunction, do not perform an insulation resistance test (megger test) on the servo amplifier. Periodic inspection Perform the following inspections.
Servo amplifier cooling fan The cooling fan bearings will reach the end of their service life in 50,000 hours to 70,000 hours. Therefore, the cooling fan must be replaced after seven to eight years of continuous operation as a guideline. If unusual noise or vibration is found during inspection, the cooling fan must also be replaced.
