[To prevent electric shock, note the following]

WARNING
 Before wiring or inspection, turn off the power and wait for 15 minutes or more (20 minutes or more for converter unit) until the charge lamp turns off. Then, confirm that the voltage between P+ and N(between L+ and L- for converter unit) is safe with a voltage tester and others. Otherwise, an electric shock may occur. In addition, always confirm whether the charge lamp is off or not from the front of the servo amplifier (converter unit).
 Do not operate switches with wet hands. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.

[To prevent fire, note the following]

CAUTION
 When you use an MR-J4 multi-axis servo amplifier, connecting an encoder for wrong axis to the CN2A, CN2B, or CN2C connector may cause a fire.

[To prevent injury, note the following]

CAUTION
 The servo amplifier (drive unit), converter unit heat sink, regenerative resistor, servo motor, etc. may become hot while power is on or for some time after power-off. Take safety measures, e.g. provide covers, to avoid accidentally touching the parts (cables, etc.) by hand.

[Additional instructions]
The following instructions should also be fully noted. Incorrect handling may cause a malfunction, injury, electric shock, etc.

[Wiring]

CAUTION

 Wire the equipment correctly and securely. Otherwise, the servo motor may operate unexpectedly.  Make sure to connect the cables and connectors by using the fixing screws and the locking
mechanism. Otherwise, the cables and connectors may be disconnected during operation.  To avoid a malfunction of the servo motor, connect the wires to the correct phase terminals (U/V/W) of
the servo amplifier (drive unit) and the servo motor.  Connect the servo amplifier (drive unit) power output (U/V/W) to the servo motor power input (U/V/W)
directly. Do not connect a magnetic contactor and others between them. Otherwise, it may cause a malfunction.

CAUTION
 Configure a circuit to turn off EM2 or EM1 when the main circuit power supply is turned off to prevent an unexpected restart of the servo amplifier (drive unit).
 To prevent malfunction, avoid bundling power lines (input/output) and signal cables of the servo amplifier (drive unit) and the converter unit together or running them in parallel to each other. Separate the power lines from the signal cables.
[Usage]
CAUTION
 Before resetting an alarm, make sure that the run signal of the servo amplifier (drive unit) is off in order to prevent a sudden restart. Otherwise, it may cause an accident.
 Use the servo amplifier (drive unit) and converter unit with the specified servo motor.  Wire options and peripheral equipment, etc. correctly in the specified combination. Otherwise, it may
cause an electric shock, fire, injury, etc.  If the dynamic brake is activated at power-off, alarm occurrence, etc., do not rotate the servo motor by
an external force. Doing so may cause a malfunction of the dynamic brake or a fire.

[Corrective actions]

CAUTION

 Ensure safety by confirming the power off, etc. before performing corrective actions. Otherwise, it may cause an accident.
 If it is assumed that a power failure or product malfunction may result in a hazardous situation, use a servo motor with an electromagnetic brake or provide an external brake system for holding purpose to prevent such hazard.
 Configure an electromagnetic brake circuit which is interlocked with an external emergency stop switch.

Contacts must be opened when ALM (Malfunction) or MBR (Electromagnetic brake interlock) turns off.

Contacts must be opened with the emergency stop switch.

1.4 Remedies for alarms

CAUTION
· When any alarm has occurred, eliminate its cause, ensure safety, and deactivate the alarm before restarting operation. Otherwise, it may cause injury. · If [AL. 25 Absolute position erased] occurs, always make home position setting again. Otherwise, it may cause an unexpected operation. · As soon as an alarm occurs, make the Servo-off status and interrupt the main circuit power.

When any of the following alarms has occurred, do not cycle the power repeatedly to restart. Doing so will cause a malfunction of the servo amplifier and servo motor. Remove its cause and allow about 30 minutes for cooling before resuming the operation. · [AL. 30 Regenerative error] · [AL. 45 Main circuit device overheat] · [AL. 46 Servo motor overheat] · [AL. 50 Overload 1] · [AL. 51 Overload 2] [AL. 37 Parameter error] is not recorded in the alarm history.
Remove the cause of the alarm in accordance with this section. Use MR Configurator2 to refer to the cause of alarm occurrence.

If [AL. E3 Absolute position counter warning] occurs, remove the cause of the warning, and always make home position setting again. Otherwise, it may cause an unexpected operation.
When any of the following alarms has occurred, do not cycle the power of the servo amplifier repeatedly to restart. Doing so will cause a malfunction of the servo amplifier and servo motor. If the power of the servo amplifier is switched off/on during the alarms, allow more than 30 minutes for cooling before resuming operation. · [AL. 91 Servo amplifier overheat warning] · [AL. E0 Excessive regeneration warning] · [AL. E1 Overload warning 1] · [AL. E2 Servo motor overheat warning] · [AL. EC Overload warning 2] Warnings (except [AL.

4.1 How to use drive recorder

When you use the J3 extension function, replace the following left parameters to the right parameters.

[Pr. PF21]  [Pr. PX30]

[Pr. PA23]  [Pr. PX29]

The drive recorder will not operate on the following conditions.

· You are using the graph function of MR Configurator2.

4

· You are using the machine analyzer function.

· [Pr. PF21] is set to "1".

· The controller is not connected (except the test operation mode).

· You are operating in the J3 compatibility mode.

When the following alarms occur, the drive recorder will not operate.

· [AL. 10.1 Voltage drop in the control circuit power]

· [AL. 12 Memory error 1 (RAM)]

· [AL. 15 Memory error 2 (EEP-ROM)]

· [AL. 16 Encoder initial communication error 1]

· [AL. 17 Board error] [AL. 19 Memory error 3 (Flash-ROM)]

· [AL. 19 Memory error 3 (Flash-ROM)]

· [AL. 1A Servo motor combination error]

· [AL. 1E Encoder initial communication error 2]

· [AL. 1F Encoder initial communication error 3]

· [AL. 25 Absolute position erased]

· [AL. 37 Parameter error]

· [AL. 70 Load-side encoder initial communication error 1]

· [AL. 888/88888 Watchdog]

· [AL. 8D.1 CC-Link IE communication error 1] (For MR-J4-_GF_(-RJ), the drive recorder operates by setting

[Pr. PN06] to "_ _ _ 1".)

· [AL. 8D.2 CC-Link IE communication error 2] (For MR-J4-_GF_(-RJ), the drive recorder operates by setting

[Pr. PN06] to "_ _ _ 1".)

While the graph is displayed on MR Configurator2, the drive recorder function is temporarily disabled. To use

the drive recorder function, wait until the time set in [Pr. PF21] passes or cycle the power of the servo amplifier

after using the graph function. Whether the drive recorder function is enabled or disabled can be checked on

the display (Diagnosis mode) for the MR-J4-_A_(-RJ).

When an alarm occurs at the servo amplifier, the conditions (such as motor speed and droop pulses) of the servo amplifier before/after alarm occurrences will be recorded. You can refer to the recorded data with MR Configurator2. The drive recorder records the data of the past 16 alarm occurrences. The oldest data will be deleted when a new alarm occurs. On the MR-J4W_-_B, the drive recorder records the data of the past 16 alarm occurrences in total for the A, B, and Caxes. Therefore, less than 16 data will be displayed on the history display window of each axis.

Trigger setting of drive recorder
When [Pr. PA23 Drive recorder arbitrary alarm trigger setting] is set to "0 0 0 0" (initial value), the drive recorder activates at occurrence of the specified alarms, which are the alarms excluding the ones that will not be activated as shown in "Point" in this section. When specifying an alarm that activates the drive recorder, set the desired alarm No. in [Pr. PA23]. For the setting method of [Pr. PA23], refer to Servo Amplifier Instruction Manual.

4.1 How to use drive recorder

Recordable data by drive recorder
When [Pr. PA23] is set to "0 0 0 0" (initial value), the data described in "Standard" in the table of this section will be recorded. When the drive recorder is to be activated at occurrence of the specified alarm, the data corresponding to the alarm No. in the table of this section will be recorded. If [Pr. PA23] is set to an alarm that is not in the table of this section, the data of "Standard" in the table of this section will be recorded.
