When select “Trace Operation” - “Trace Start＋Trace Data Read ” in the menu bar of
trace operation, start the trace. When the trace starts, the following appears.

Servo amplifier is sampling the data while waiting trigger generation.

When click “Sampling Stop”, stops sampling. (This detects the trigger falsely.)

107
 When click “Cancel”, this dialog box is closed. Even if click “Cancel”, servo amplifier
continues sampling.
Once servo amplifier starts sampling, it continues until trigger is generated or the control
power is shut off. (Sampling continues even after terminating the setup software or
cutting off the cable.) After trigger generation, the data can be read by using “Trace Data
Read”.)

When the trigger is detected, the following dialog box appears.

Servo amplifier is sampling the data.

“The remaining time” displays the period until the sampling completes. When the
remaining time is 0[sec], the following dialog box appears.

110
Note for "Measurement" of "Trace Operation"
- Note for data loss at "Scroll Mode".
In case of data loss resulted form communication environment or setting of sampling
frequency etc.
There is a possibility that no data exists.
In the trace operation measurement function, the area where no data exists will be excluded
from measurement target.
The measurement function can be used even when data is lost.
* When all the data is lost in the measurement range (no data exists), the measurement
result is "0".

- Initial data of "Scroll Mode"

At "Scroll Mode", 1000 point data is always displayed.
When monitoring starts, this 1000 point data is cleared to "0".
Therefore, from monitoring start until the time 1000 times as long as the sampling frequency
will have past, initial data "0" exists which is not actual data.
The Measurement function of Trace Operation treats this initial data "0" as measurement
target.

- Initial data of "Trace Mode"

At "Trace Mode", data buffer is cleared to "0" when tracing starts.
Therefore, when a trigger is detected and sampling stops before Tracing Time will have past
after tracing start, initial data "0" exists which is not actual data.
The Measurement function of Trace Operation treats this initial data "0" as measurement
target.
* Specify by cursor the measurement range and make the actual data as measurement
target.

 *Note 1 The maximum travel velocity that can be set in the Pulse Feed JOG function differs depending upon the
encoder resolution (if resolution is higher, the maximum travel velocity setting value shall be lower). The
maximum travel velocity setting value in general encoder is as follows: (when setting beyond the over-speed
setting value of the motor, over-speed error occurs.) Take extra care since JOG operation in the high speed
is dangerous.
Rotary Servo System
・Incremental Encoder（2000PPR） :32767min-1
・Wiring-saved Absolute Encoder（131072FMT） :2746min-1
Linear Servo System
・Incremental Encoder（10000P/mm） :600mm/s
・Incremental Encoder（1000P/mm） :6000mm/s
*Note 2 Tuning/ data measurement can not be implemented normally during holding brake release time. After Servo
OFF → Servo ON, wait holding brake release time (BOFFDLY) process. And then click “Execute”.
*Note 3 In the status of torque limitation, tuning can not be executed normally. Enlarge the setting value of the torque
limitation, or lower the tuning torque command.
*Note 4 In case that the “Test operation complete alarm (ALM_DF)” occurs, this is a secondary alarm occurring due to
the function failure and is not a cause of the “Test Operation and Adjustment” function failure.
*Note 5 In the Rotary Servo System, the Fixation Excitation Function can not be used.
*Note 6 In case that the “Fixation Excitation Error (ALM_44) occurs, this is a secondary alarm occurring due to the
function failure and is not a cause of the “Fixation Excitation” operational failure.
*Note 7 The test operation might not be able to be used during switching the control mode.

4.4.6. Trace Operation Massage

No. Alarm Contents/ Message Explanation/ Corrective Measures
1 “Trace Operation cannot be executed.” The Servo amplifier is not corresponding to the Trace
Operation Function and this function can not be used.
It differs depending upon the Servo amplifier software version
and the Servo amplifier types if the Servo amplifier is
corresponding to the Trace Operational Function.

2 “It is not an operational trace file.” The specified file is not an operational trace data file.
3 “A sampling period is outside the setting range.” [Trace Operation Setting]
“A trigger level is outside the setting range.” The set value is out of specification.
“A trigger position is outside the setting range.”
4 “In the now baud rate and communication environment, [Scroll Mode]
the set-up sampling period is unrealizable.”
This alarm occurs in case of high frequency of the display
interruption (data elimination). The following causes are
considered:
・Menu bar opens during monitoring operation. (Note 1)
・The relation between the sampling period setting value and
CPU operational frequency are not appropriate. (Note 2)
・Other application operates in the background.
・The application with large load exists.
Lower the load on PC. If no improvement, readjust the
sampling period setting value.

*Note 1 Data update stops during the menu bar opens. When this data update stop becomes long, the alarm will
occur and monitor will stop.
*Note 2 The recommended conditions (CPU operational frequency) when using scroll mode of the Trace Operational
Function are as follows:
・50ms ≦ Data sampling period < 100ms :CPU operational frequency ≧ 800MHz
・100ms≦Data sampling period < 200ms :CPU operational frequency ≧350MHz
・200ms≦Data sampling period :CPU operational frequency ≧133MHz

4.5. Communication Setting of Servo Amplifier
4.5.1. Parameter
Communication setting of the servo amplifier can be changed by operating parameter of
the servo amplifier.
Setup Software, Communication Axis Number COMAXIS [Group A – Page 20]
Setup Software, Communication Baud Rate COMBAUD [Group A – Page 21]

By making this parameter setting identical with the communication setting of the
R-SETUP ([Communication] – [Communication Setting…] in the menu bar of the main
screen), communication can be executed at the objective setting. The default settings
are as follows:
Servo amplifier (Standard setting value at ex-factory)
Communication Axis Number : #1 : COMAXIS = “01:_#1”
Communication Baud Rate : 38400bps : COMBAUD = “05:_38400bps”
R-SETUP - Setup Software (Standard setting value after installation)
Communication Axis Number : #1
Communication Baud Rate : 38400bps

 Note 1) Depending upon the Amplifier types, “initial value/ ex-factory setting value
may differ,” or “setting procedure may differ,” or “the setting value may not be
able to change.” Refer to the individual Instruction Manual or Specifications.
Note 2) In case of changing COMAXIS and COMBAUD setting, the setting change
will be valid by turning ON the Amplifier control power again.

4.5.2. Communication Setting Procedure by Digital Operator

Communication setting of the Servo amplifier can be checked and changed by using digital
operator in the following procedure:
Note that “setting procedure may differ” or “the setting value may not be able to change”
depending upon the Amplifier types. Refer to the individual Instruction Manual or
Specifications.

1. Switching digital operator mode.

(1) Turn ON the control power. Then the digital operator is in the status display mode.
(2) Press the MODE Key sometimes until Basic Mode (or Parameter Editing Mode).
