1 Safety precautions
The precautions described below are intended to prevent danger or injury to the user and other personnel through safe,
correct use of the product. Use the product only after carefully reading and fully understanding these instructions.
Handling the product without observing the instructions that accompany a "Warning"
symbol may result in serious injury or death.
Handling the product without observing the instructions that accompany a “Caution”
symbol may result in injury or property damage.
The items under this heading contain important handling instructions that the user should
observe to ensure safe use of the product.
General
• Do not use the product in explosive or corrosive environments, in the presence of flammable gases, locations
subjected to splashing water, or near combustibles. Doing so may result in fire or injury.
• Assign qualified personnel the task of installing, wiring, operating/controlling, inspecting and troubleshooting the
product. Failure to do so may result in fire, injury or damage to equipment.
• When the driver generates an alarm (any of the driver's protective functions is triggered), take measures to hold
the moving part in place since the motor stops and loses its holding torque. Failure to do so may result in injury or
damage to equipment.
• When the driver generates an alarm (any of the driver's protective functions is triggered), first remove the cause and
then clear the protection function. Continuing the operation without removing the cause of the problem may cause
malfunction of the motor and driver, leading to injury or damage to equipment.
• Do not transport, install the product, perform connections or inspections when the power is on. Always turn the
power off before carrying out these operations. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
• Take measures to keep the moving parts in position for vertical operations such as elevator applications. The motor
loses holding torque when the power is shut off, allowing the moving parts to fall and possibly cause injury or
damage to equipment.
• The brake mechanism of an electromagnetic brake motor is used to keep the moving part and motor in position. Do
not use it as a deceleration/safety brake. Doing so may result in injury or damage to the equipment.
Installation
• Install the motor and driver in the enclosure in order to prevent injury.
• When installing the motor and driver, do not touch the driver without grounding the driver first. Failure to do so
may result in electric shock.
Connection
• Keep the driver's input power voltage within the specified range. Failure to do so may result in fire.
• For the driver’s power supply, use a DC power supply with reinforced insulation on its primary and secondary
sides. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
• Connect the cables securely according to the wiring diagram. Failure to do so may result in fire.
• Do not forcibly bend, pull or pinch the cable. Doing so may cause fire.
Operation
• Turn off the driver power in the event of a power failure. Or the motor may suddenly start when the power is
restored and may cause injury or damage to equipment.
• Do not turn the FREE input to ON while the motor is operating. The motor will stop and lose its holding power.
Doing so may result in injury or damage to equipment.
Repair, disassembly and modification
• Do not disassemble or modify the motor and driver. Doing so may cause injury. Refer all such internal inspections
and repairs to the branch or sales office from which you purchased the product.

Safety precautions
General
• Do not use the motor and driver beyond its specifications. Doing so may result in injury or damage to equipment.
• Keep your fingers and objects out of the openings in the motor and driver. Failure to do so may result in fire or
injury.
• Do not touch the motor and driver during operation or immediately after stopping. The surface is hot and may cause
a skin burn(s).
Transportation
• Do not carry the motor by holding the motor output shaft or motor cable. Doing so may cause injury.
Installation
• Provide a cover over the rotating parts (output shaft) of the motor. Failure to do so may result in injury.
• Do not leave anything around the motor and driver that would obstruct ventilation. Doing so may result in damage
to equipment.
Connection
• The main power supply connector (CN1), data edit connector (CN4) and I/O signal connector (CN5) of the driver
are not electrically insulated. When grounding the positive terminal of the power supply, do not connect any
equipment (PC, etc.) whose negative terminal is grounded. Doing so may cause the driver and these equipment to
short, damaging both.
Operation
• Do not touch the rotating part (output shaft) during operation. Doing so may cause injury.
• Use a motor and driver only in the specified combination. An incorrect combination may cause a fire.
• Provide an emergency stop device or emergency stop circuit external to the equipment so that the entire equipment
will operate safely in the event of a system failure or malfunction. Failure to do so may result in injury.
• The motor surface temperature may exceed 70 °C (158 °F) even under normal operating conditions.
If the operator is allowed to approach the running motor, attach a warning label as shown below in
a conspicuous position. Failure to do so may result in skin burn(s).
• Before supplying power to the driver, turn all input signals to the driver OFF. Otherwise, the motor Warning label
may start suddenly at power ON and cause injury or damage to equipment.
• Before moving the motor directly with the hands, confirm that the FREE input turns ON. Failure to do so may
result in injury.
• Immediately when trouble has occurred, stop running and turn off the driver power. Failure to do so may result in
fire or injury.
Maintenance and inspection
• To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not touch the terminals while performing the insulation resistance test or
dielectric strength test.
Disposal
• To dispose of the motor and driver, disassemble it into parts and components as much as possible and dispose of
individual parts/components as industrial waste.

Overview of the product
Main features
• Introducing closed loop control
The AR Series can continue its operation even upon encountering quick acceleration or an abrupt change in load.
Monitoring the speed and amount of rotation while the motor is running, the AR Series performs the closed-loop
control under overload and similar conditions to continue its operation at the peak torque.
• Energy-saving
Motor and driver losses have been substantially reduced to achieve low heat generation and save energy.
Since the motor and driver generate much less heat, they can now be operated for longer hours at high speed, which
was not possible with conventional motors/drivers.
• Easy adjustment using a speed filter
Even after the motor has been installed in the equipment, the motor response can be adjusted to suppress vibration
using a digital switch with ease.
• Supporting sink output and source output
The driver supports both the current sink output circuit and the current source output circuit. (Line driver output is not
supported).
• Alarm and warning functions
The driver provides alarms that are designed to protect the driver from overheating, poor connection, error in
operation, etc. (protective functions), as well as warnings that are output before the corresponding alarms generate
(warning functions).
Extended functions
When used with the accessory OPX-2A (sold separately) or MEXE02, the AR Series driver lets you set desired
parameters, operation mode, resolution and other items according to your equipment. For details, refer to page 42.

• Install the noise filter as close to the AC input terminal of DC power supply as possible. Use cable clamps and other
means to secure the AC input cables (AWG18: 0.75 mm2 or more) and output cables (AWG18: 0.75 mm2 or more)
firmly to the surface of the enclosure.
• Connect the ground terminal of the noise filter to the grounding point, using as thick and short a wire as possible.
• Do not place the AC input cable parallel with the noise filter output cable. Parallel placement will reduce noise
filter effectiveness if the enclosure's internal noise is directly coupled to the power supply cable by means of stray
capacitance.
How to ground
The cable used to ground the driver and noise filter must be as thick and short as possible so that no potential
difference is generated. Choose a large, thick and uniformly conductive surface for the grounding point.
• How to ground the driver
See page 29 for grounding the driver.
• How to ground the motor
When grounding the motor, use a protective earth.
For the grounding method, refer to the AR Series Motor OPERATING MANUAL.

READY/AL0 output
When the driver becomes ready, the READY output turns ON. Input pulse signals to driver after the READY output
has turned ON.
If an alarm generates, an alarm code indicating the cause of the alarm can be output and checked via the combination
of AL0, AL1 and AL2 outputs. To use alarm codes, the applicable parameter must be changed using the OPX-2A or
MEXE02. For details, refer to page 53.
TLC/AL1 output
This signal will be output when the torque characteristic exceeds the specified range. If a push current is set using an
extended function, this signal is output while pushing.
If an alarm generates, an alarm code indicating the cause of the alarm can be output and checked via the combination
of AL0, AL1 and AL2 outputs. To use alarm codes, the applicable parameter must be changed using the OPX-2A or
MEXE02. For details, refer to page 53.
END output
When the motor has completed its movement, the END output will turn ON. Specifically, the END output will turn
ON when the rotor position falls within ±1.8° of the command position while no pulse signal is input.

• When changing the resolution using the CS input, do so while the TIM output is ON and the
motor is at standstill. If the CS input is turned ON/OFF when one or both of these conditions are
unsatisfied, the TIM output will not turn ON even after the motor output shaft rotates by 7.2°.
TIM2/AL2 output
Refer to “TIM1 output” for the TIM2 output.
If an alarm generates, an alarm code indicating the cause of the alarm can be output and checked via the combination
of AL0, AL1 and AL2 outputs. To use alarm codes, the applicable parameter must be changed using the OPX-2A or
MEXE02. For details, refer to page 53.
Note • The ASG output and BSG output are subject to a maximum delay of 0.1 ms with respect to
motor operation. Use these outputs to check the position at which the motor is stopped.
• Connect a termination resistor of 100 Ω or more between the driver and the input of the line

Explanation of I/O signals
WNG output
When a warning generates, the WNG output turns ON. The warning can be generated before a corresponding alarm
generates.
To use the WNG output, the applicable parameter must be changed using the OPX-2A or MEXE02. (The initial value
is to use the same conditions applicable to alarms.) For details, refer to page 56.
ALM output
When an alarm generates, the ALM output will turn OFF. At the same time, the ALARM LED of the driver will blink
and the motor current will be cut off and stop. ∗
Set the programmable controller so that it will stop motor operation commands upon detection of an OFF status of the
ALM output. The cause of the alarm can be checked by counting the number of times the ALARM LED blinks.
For details, refer to page 53.
* Abnormal operation data alarm is not supported by this function (because the current will not be cut off even after these
errors occur).

Setting
CURRENT
The operating current to be set is the maximum output current
multiplied by the operating current rate (%) set to each dial setting of
the current setting switch, where “F” corresponds to 100%.
One of 16 operating current levels from 0 to F can be set.
If the load is small and there is an ample allowance for torque, motor
temperature rise can be suppressed by setting a lower operating
current.
The dial settings and corresponding operating current rates are listed below.
Note Excessively low operating current may cause a problem in starting the motor or holding the load in
position. Do not lower the operating current more than necessary.
• To change the basic setting for operating current: Refer to page 50.
V-FIL
When setting a higher value for the speed filter, lower vibration at
low speed operation or smoother operation at starting/stopping of the
motor can be achieved.
However, if this setting is too high, synchronization performance is
decreased. Set a suitable value based on the load or application.
• Speed filter setting switch=0 (minimum) • Speed filter setting switch=F (maximum)
• To change the basic setting for speed filter: Refer to page 51.

12.2 Operation
Push-motion operation
Push-motion operation is a type of operation where pulses are input to pressurize the load continuously.
When selecting a push-motion operation with the application parameter for I/O input mode [APP-2-00], turning the
T-MODE input ON and inputting pulses, push-motion operation will start.
Pulses will be continuously input and accumulate even when the load is balanced with the torque.
Note • Do not perform push-motion operation with geared types. Doing so may cause damage to the
motor or gear part.
• If push-motion operation is performed for a long time while a large push-motion current is set,
the driver may increase the temperature rise and generate the overheat protection alarm.
1. Set the application parameter for I/O input mode [APP-2-00] to “Push-motion operation.”
2. Select a current value using the M0 to M2 inputs.
3. Turn the T-MODE input ON.
4. Input CW or CCW pulses.
The load is pressurized continuously while the T-MODE input is ON.
The output torque is limited at the current value selected for the parameter in step 2.
When the output torque reaches the current value selected for the parameter in step 2, the TLC output will turn
ON. Refer to page 65 and page 66 for the timing charts.
5. Stop the pulse input.
6. Turn the T-MODE input OFF.
Note • During push-motion operation, the automatic current cutback function does not operate even
when the pulse input is stopped. In other words, the value of push current selected for the
parameter is maintained.
• If the load is removed during push-motion operation, the motor will move at high speed the
number accumulated pulses.
• Since pulses are input continuously during push-motion operation, a prolonged push condition
may generate an excessive position deviation alarm. If the push condition continues for a
prolonged period, stop the pulse input. Whether or not the motor is pushing the load can be
determined using the TLC output.

Test operation
Test operation is performed using the OPX-2A or MEXE02.
Perform test operation (JOG operation) to check the levels of vibration and noise or to check how operate in a push-
motion operation and/or a return to electrical home operation.
Set the required conditions for JOG operation using the following parameters:
• Operating speed of JOG operation [APP-7-00]
• Acceleration and deceleration rate of JOG operation [APP-7-01]
• Starting speed of JOG operation [APP-7-02]
Note JOG operation is performed only while each applicable operation button is pressed on the
OPX-2A or clicked in MEXE02. External signals cannot be used to start/stop the motor.

Extended functions
12.3 Adjustment
The operating current, motor operation at start/stop, and response in reaction to the command can be adjusted.
The items that can be adjusted vary between the normal mode and the current control mode.
Control mode
The driver operates in one of two control modes: the normal mode, and the current control mode. The desired mode
can be set using the control mode select switch (SW1-No.2). If noise is heard during high-speed operation or there is
notable vibration, it may be effective to switch to the current control mode.
Note, however, that a slight delay may occur in the current control mode, compared
to the normal mode, depending on the condition of the load.
Keep the driver in the normal mode during normal conditions of use.
OFF: Normal mode (NORM) NORM CCM
ON: Current control mode (CCM)
Note • The new setting of the control mode select switch will become effective after the power is cycled.
• In the normal mode, the CCM input becomes effective.
Operating current
Set a desired operating current using the current setting switch
(CURRENT). The operating current to be set is the maximum output
CURRENT
current multiplied by the operating current rate (%) set to each dial
setting of the current setting switch, where “F” corresponds to 100%.
One of 16 operating current levels from 0 to F can be set. If the
load is small and there is an ample allowance for torque, the motor
temperature rise can be suppressed by setting a lower operating
current.
The value assigned to each dial setting of the current setting switch can be changed by using a corresponding
application parameter for operating current at CURRENT (one of [APP-0-00] to [APP-0-15]).
Note Excessively low operating current may cause a problem in starting the motor or holding the load in
position. Do not lower the operating current more than necessary.
Standstill current
When the motor stops, the current cutback function will be actuated to lower the motor current to the standstill
current.
The standstill current is a value that the operating current which was set with the current setting switch is multiplied
by a ratio of the standstill current.
Set a desired standstill current using the application parameter for standstill current [APP-3-00].
The initial value is 50%.
−50−
Extended functions
Speed filter
The motor response to input pulses can be adjusted using the speed
filter setting switch (V-FIL). One of 16 speed filter levels from 0 to
F can be set. When the speed filter level is raised, vibration can be
V-FIL
suppressed during low-speed operation, and starting/stopping of the
motor will become smooth.
Note, however, that an excessively high filter level will result in lower
synchronicity with commands.
Set an appropriate value according to the specific load and purpose. The value assigned to each dial setting of the
speed filter setting switch can be changed by using a corresponding application parameter for speed filter at V-FIL (one
of [APP-1-00] to [APP-1-15]).
Smooth drive
When the smooth drive function is used, the driver automatically implements microstep control over input pulses.
This helps suppress motor vibration.
If the smooth drive function is not used, vibration may increase in the low-speed range although starting
characteristics will improve.
Set whether or not to use the smooth drive using the system parameter for smooth drive [SyS-1-01].
Note When a system parameter has been changed, the new parameter will become effective after the
power is cycled.
Position loop gain, speed loop gain, speed loop integral time constant
These items are effective in the current control mode.
Vibration that occurs while the motor is accelerating/decelerating or at standstill can be adjusted to an optimal value.
(The optimal value varies depending on the equipment and operating conditions.)
Set the required conditions using the following application parameters:
• Position loop gain [APP-4-00] .............................This adjusts the motor response in reaction to the position
deviation. When this value is increased, the motor response will
become quicker and motor overshoot will decrease. An excessively
high value may cause hunting.
• Speed loop gain [APP-4-01] ................................This adjusts the motor response in reaction to the speed deviation.
When this value is increased, motor response will become quicker
and motor overshoot will decrease. An excessively high value may
cause hunting.
• Speed loop integral time constant [APP-4-02] ....This decreases the deviation that cannot be adjusted with the speed
loop gain. When this value is decreased, motor response will
become quicker and motor overshoot will decrease. An excessively
low value may cause hunting.
Anti-vibration control
This item is effective in the current control mode.
Even when the motor is installed into a machine of low rigidity, residual vibration can be suppressed during
positioning, in order to shorten the positioning time. (The optimal value varies depending on the equipment and
operating conditions.)
Set the required conditions using the following application parameters:
• Anti-vibration control [APP-4-03] .............................Set whether or not to enable anti-vibration control.
• Frequency of anti-vibration control [APP-4-04]........Set the frequency of anti-vibration control.

Alarms and warnings
14.1 Alarms
When an alarm generates, the ALM output will turn OFF and the motor will stop. (The motor will continue to operate
after generating the abnormal operation data alarm, because abnormal operation data alarm does not cut off the motor
current.)
When the application parameter for AL0-2 signal output [APP-2-01] is set to “Enable”, the READY output, TLC
output and TIM2 output will automatically switch to the AL0 output, AL1 output and AL2 output, respectively.
When an alarm generates, the ALARM LED will blink. The cause of the alarm can be checked by counting the
number of times the ALARM LED blinks.
