Precautions for use

3 Precautions for use

This section covers restrictions and requirements the user should consider when using the BLV Series.
• Regeneration energy
When the motor is used in operation such as vertical drive (gravitational operation) or sudden accelerating/
decelerating of an inertia body, regeneration energy may generate. Since the driver has no function to consume
regeneration energy, if the output capacity or overvoltage allowance of the DC power supply is small, the protective
function for the power supply or driver may be activated to stop the motor. When performing these operations, use a
DC power supply or battery that has a large output capacity or overvoltage allowance.
Also, use an electromagnetic brake type motor because there is a risk of falling the moving part in vertical drive such
as elevating equipment.
If the protective function for the power supply or driver is activated, contact your nearest Oriental Motor sales office.
• Do not conduct the insulation resistance measurement or dielectric strength test with the motor and
driver connected.
Conducting the insulation resistance measurement or dielectric strength test with the motor and driver connected
may result in damage to the product.
• Do not use a solid-state relay (SSR) to turn on or off the power supply.
A circuit that turns on or off the power supply via a solid-state relay (SSR) may damage the motor and driver.
• Notes for power ON/OFF using a mechanical contact
When turning on or off the power supply using a mechanical contact (breaker, electromagnetic switch, relay, etc.), do
so only the positive side (+) of the power supply using the mechanical contact.
Turning on or off the positive side (+) and the negative side (-) of the power supply simultaneously using a mechanical
contact may cause damage to the control circuit or peripheral equipment.
Refer to p.24 for details.
• Note on connecting a power supply whose positive terminal is grounded
The main power supply input terminal (CN1), I/O signal connector (CN4), communication connectors (CN5/CN6/CN7),
and control power supply input terminal (TB1) 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.
• Grease measures
On rare occasions, grease may ooze out from the gearhead. If there is concern over possible environmental
contamination resulting from the leakage of grease, check for grease stains during regular inspections. Alternatively,
install an oil pan or other device to prevent damage resulting from contamination. Grease leakage may lead to
problems in the user’s equipment or products.
• Note on using in low temperature environment
When an ambient temperature is low, a load torque may increase due to the oil seal or viscosity of grease used in the
gearhead, and the output torque may decrease or an overload alarm may be generated. However, as time passes, the
oil seal or grease is warmed up, and the motor can be driven without generating an overload alarm.
• Apply grease to the hollow output shaft of a hollow shaft flat gearhead.
When using a hollow shaft flat gearhead, apply grease (molybdenum disulfide grease, etc.) on the surface of the load
shaft and inner walls of the hollow output shaft to prevent seizure.
• The driver uses semiconductor components. So be extremely careful when handling them.
The driver uses components that are sensitive to electrostatic charge. Before touching the driver, turn off the power to
prevent electrostatic charge from generating. If an electrostatic charge is impressed on the driver, the driver may be
damaged.
• Connecting the motor and driver
For the BLV510 product, be sure to use the included connection cable to connect the motor and driver.
For the BLV620 and BLV640 products, use the included connection cable to extend the wiring distance between the
motor and driver.
• Sliding noise of electromagnetic brake
The electromagnetic brake motor may cause sliding noise of the brake disk during operation.
There is no functional problem.

 Precautions for use

„ Noise elimination measures

The electrical noise is of two types: One is a noise to invade into the driver from the outside and cause the driver
malfunction, and the other is a noise to emit from the driver and cause peripheral equipment malfunction.
For the noise that is invaded from the outside, take measures to prevent the driver malfunction. It is needed to take
adequate measures because signal lines are very likely to be affected by the noise.
For the noise that is emitted from the driver, take measures to suppress it.
Refer to p.21 for "Installing and wiring in compliance with EMC."
Measures against electrical noise
There are the following three methods mainly to take measures against the electrical noise.
• Noise suppression
• When relays or electromagnetic switches are used, use noise filters or CR circuits to suppress surge generated by
them.
• Use the connection cable for the exclusive use of the BLV series when extending the wiring distance between the
motor and driver. This is effective in suppressing the electrical noise emitted from the motor.
• Cover the driver by a metal plate such as aluminum. This is effective in shielding the electrical noise emitted from
the driver.
• Prevention of noise propagation
• Separate power lines such as motor cable and power supply cable from signal lines for a distance of 100 mm (3.94 in.)
or more, and also do not bundle them or wire them in parallel. If the power lines must cross over the signal lines,
wire them at right angles.
• For more effective elimination of noise, use a shielded I/O signal cable or attach ferrite cores if a non-shielded cable
is used.
• Keep cables as short as possible without coiling and bundling extra lengths.
• To ground a shielded cable, use a metal cable clamp that can maintain Shielded cable
contact with the entire circumference of the shielded cable, and ground Cable clamp
as near the product as possible.

• Grounding multiple points will increase effect to block electrical noise because impedance on the grounding points
is decreased. However, ground them so that a potential difference does not occur among the grounding points.
• Suppression of effect by noise propagation
• Loop the noise propagated cable around a ferrite core. Doing so will prevent the propagated noise invades into the
driver or emits from the driver. The frequency band in which an effect by the ferrite core can be seen is generally
1 MHz or more.
Check the frequency characteristics of the ferrite core used. When increasing the effect of noise attenuation by the
ferrite core, loop the cable a lot.

6.7 Installing and wiring in compliance with EMC

The BLV Series has been designed and manufactured to be incorporated in equipment. The EMC requires that your
mechanical equipment in which the product is installed satisfies the applicable requirements.
The installation and wiring methods of the motor and driver explained here represent the basic methods that are
effective in helping your mechanical equipment conform to the EMC.
The final level of conformance of your mechanical equipment to the EMC will vary depending on such factors as the
control system equipment used with the motor and driver, configuration of electrical parts, wiring, layout and hazard
level. It therefore must be verified through conducting EMC measures on your mechanical equipment.

CAUTION This equipment is not intended for use in residential environments nor for use on a
low-voltage public network supplied in residential premises, and it may not provide
adequate protection to radio reception interference in such environments.

„ Wiring the power supply cable and signal cable

2
• Use a shielded cable of AWG 16 to 10 (1.25 to 6 mm ) in diameter for the power supply cable and keep it as short as
possible.
• Use a shielded cable for the I/O signals cable, and keep it as short as possible.
• Strip a part of the shielded cable and ground the stripped part using a metal cable clamp that contacts the stripped
cable around its entire circumference, or use a drain wire to make the ground connection.
• Attach a cable clamp as close to the end of the cable as possible, and connect it as shown in the figure.

no potential difference is generated. Choose a large, thick and uniformly conductive surface for the grounding point.
• Grounding the motor • Grounding the driver

Grounding

Grounding

Ground the motor and driver using any one of the mounting holes as shown in the figure.
Use shakeproof washers for grounding so that the motor and driver are electrically conducted with the grounding
points, respectively.

„ Notes about installation and wiring

• Connect the motor, driver and other peripheral control equipment directly to the grounding point so that no
potential difference is generated between grounds.
• When relays or electromagnetic switches are used together with the product, use CR circuits to suppress surges
generated by them.
• Keep cables as short as possible without coiling and bundling extra lengths.
• Wire the power lines such as the motor cable and power cable away from the signal cables by providing a minimum
clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in.) between them. If they have to cross, cross them at a right angle.
• Use the included connection cable when extending the wiring distance between the motor and driver. The EMC
testing is conducted using the Oriental Motor connection cable.

„ Precautions about static electricity

Static electricity may cause the driver to malfunction or suffer damage.
While the power is supplied to the driver, handle the driver with care and do not come near or touch the driver.
Always use an insulated screwdriver to adjust the driver's potentiometers or switches.

Note The driver uses parts that are sensitive to electrostatic charge. Before touching the driver, turn off the power
to prevent electrostatic charge from generating. If an electrostatic charge is impressed on the driver, the
driver may be damaged.

Supplying the power in a state where the lever (orange) is pushed
in may cause damage to the driver due to connection failure.

Note • For the power supply, use a DC power supply with reinforced insulation on its primary and secondary sides.
• When connecting, check the indication of the driver case and pay attention to the polarity of the power
supply. Reverse-polarity connection may cause damage to the driver.
• Do not wire the power supply cable of the driver in the same cable duct with other power lines or motor
cable. Doing so may cause malfunction due to noise.
• When turning on the power again or inserting/pulling out the connector, turn off the power and wait for
the POWER LED to turn off.

When the STOP-MODE input is ON, the motor stops according to the time set with the acceleration/deceleration time
potentiometer.
When the STOP-MODE input is OFF, the motor stops instantaneously.

Note When the electromagnetic brake type motor is used in vertical drive such as elevating equipment, be sure
to turn the STOP-MODE input ON before stopping the motor. Stopping the motor while the STOP-MODE
input remains OFF may cause the moving part to fall.

• M0 input
This signal is used to select how the motor speed is set.
When the M0 input is ON, the motor rotates at the speed set with the external potentiometer or external DC voltage.
When the M0 input is OFF, the motor rotates at the speed set with the internal potentiometer.
By switching the M0 input, the motor can be operated at two speeds through use of both the external potentiometer
and internal potentiometer.
Refer to p.35 for details.
Up to eight speeds can be set by assigning the M0 to M2 inputs using the MEXE02 or OPX-2A.
• ALARM-RESET input
This signal is used to reset the present alarm that the protective function of the driver was activated. Be sure to
remove the cause of the alarm before turning the ALARM-RESET input ON.
To reset an alarm, turn both the FWD input and REV input OFF, and remove the cause of the alarm before turning the
ALARM-RESET input ON (keep it ON for 10 ms or more) and then OFF. The ALARM-RESET input is disabled while the
FWD input or REV input is being ON.
If the alarm cannot be reset with the ALARM-RESET input, turn off the main power supply and turn on it again. If the
control power supply is used, also turn on the control power supply again.

Connection

• MB-FREE input
This input signal can be used to operate whether the electromagnetic brake holds or releases the motor shaft while
the motor stops.
If this input is turned ON while the motor stops, the electromagnetic brake is released and the motor shaft can be
rotated by an external force (free-run state).
Even if the “Load holding function selection” parameter is set to enable, the motor shaft can be rotated by an external
force (free-run state) when the MB-FREE input is turned ON.
Operation to release the electromagnetic brake is not allowed while an alarm is being generated.
• H-FREE input
This is the input signal that can be used when the load holding function is enabled.
If the H-FREE input is turned ON when the stopped motor shaft is electrically held by the load holding function, the
motor shaft can be rotated by an external force (free-run state).
When an electromagnetic brake motor is used, if the H-FREE input is turned ON while the load holding function is set
to enable, the motor excitation is turned OFF and the electromagnetic brake actuates to hold the motor shaft.

„ Output signals
The signal state represents "ON: Carrying current state" or "OFF: Not carrying current state" of the internal
photocoupler rather than the voltage level of the signal.
• SPEED-OUT output
30 pulses are output with each revolution of the motor output shaft in synchronization with the motor operation.
The pulse width of output pulse signals is 0.2 ms. The motor rotation speed can be calculated using the SPEED-OUT
output.

• ALARM-OUT1 output
When the protective function of the driver is activated, the ALARM-OUT1 output is turned OFF and the ALARM LED
blinks (normally closed). The motor coasts to a stop in the case of the standard type. In the case of the electromagnetic
brake type motor, on the other hand, the electromagnetic brake is activated to hold the shaft in position (the motor
stops immediately).
To reset an alarm, turn both the FWD input and REV input OFF, and remove the cause of the alarm before turning the
ALARM-RESET input ON (keep it ON for 10 ms or more) and then OFF. The ALARM-RESET input is disabled while the
FWD input or REV input is being ON.
If the alarm cannot be reset with the ALARM-RESET input, turn off the main power supply and turn on it again. If the
control power supply is used, also turn on the control power supply again.

„ Using a controller with a built-in clamp diode

If a controller with a built-in clamp diode is used, a leakage External control
path may form and cause the motor to operate even when the equipment Driver
controller power is off, as long as the driver power is on. Since
the power capacity of the controller is different from that of the VCC +15 V
driver, the motor may operate when the controller and driver
powers are turned on or off simultaneously.
When powering down, turn off the driver power first, followed 1 to 4, 9, 10
by the controller power, and when powering up, turn on the 5
controller power first, followed by the driver power.

8.9 Multi-motor control

To operate two or more motors at the same speed using a single external potentiometer (external DC voltage) is
called multi-motor control.
Multi-motor control is achieved by allowing multiple drivers to share the power line and speed setting line.
Set the basic function switch (SW1-No.2) to the same setting for all drivers.

„ Using an external potentiometer

Connect the drivers as shown below. Do not set the basic function switch (SW1-No.2) to OFF.
When performing multi-motor control using the external potentiometer, the number of drivers should not exceed
20 units.

(Use a resistor of the calculated wattage or more.)
If the speed will vary among the respective motors, make adjustments by connecting a resistor of 470 Ω, 1/4 W to the
VM terminal on driver 1 and connecting a variable resistor VRn of 1 kΩ, 1/4 W to driver 2 and subsequent drivers.

At this time, one-fifteenth speed of the motor rotation speed is displayed. Rotation speed

To display the conveyor transfer speed on the MEXE02

Set using the "Conveyor speed reduction ratio" parameter and "Conveyor speed Conveyor transfer
reduction ratio decimal digit setting" parameter. speed Pulley
To display the conveyor transfer speed, calculate the conveyor speed reduction ratio diameter
using the formula below and set the value in the "Conveyor speed reduction ratio"
parameter.
Conveyor speed 1 Gearhead gear ratio
reduction ratio = Feed rate per motor revolution = Pulley diameter [m] × π

If the calculated conveyor speed reduction ratio is used, the conveyor transfer speed is converted as follows.
Motor output shaft rotation speed [r/min]
Conveyor transfer speed [m/min] =

From the conversion formula, the conveyor speed reduction ratio is calculated as 63.7 in this example.
If the conveyor speed reduction ratio is 63.7 and the rotation speed of the motor is 1300 r/min, the conveyor
transfer speed is converted as follows:

Conveyor transfer speed [m/min] = ≅ 20.4

„ "Operation input mode selection" parameter

Input of operation signal can be switched between 2-wire mode and 3-wire mode.
The operation input mode is a method to select the motor rotation direction and operation signal. The motor is
operated using the FWD input and REV input in 2-wire mode. In 3-wire mode, the motor is operated using the START/
STOP input, RUN/BRAKE input, and the FWD/REV input.
In each operation input mode, signal functions will be changed as follows.
2-Wire mode 3-Wire mode
FWD input START/STOP input (ON: Operation, OFF: Deceleration stop)
REV input RUN/BRAKE input (ON: Operation, OFF: Instantaneous stop)
FWD/REV input
STOP-MODE input
(OFF: Rotates in clockwise direction, ON: Rotates in counterclockwise direction)

Note When the electromagnetic brake type motor is used in vertical drive such as elevating equipment, set the
operation input mode to 2-wire mode. If the RUN/BRAKE input is turned OFF or the FWD/REV input is switched
in the 3-wire mode, the moving part may fall. Also, use the motor in a state where the STOP-MODE input is
being ON. If the STOP-MODE input is in an OFF state, the moving part may fall when the motor stops.

„ Setting of load holding function

When an electromagnetic brake motor is used, the position of a load can be held by the electromagnetic brake
when the motor stops. However, even if a product without an electromagnetic brake is used, a holding force can be
generated by the load holding function when the motor stops.
• “Load holding function selection” parameter
When 1 (enabled) is set, a force to hold the shaft electrically can be generated when the motor stops (load holding
torque).
The factory setting is 0 (disable).
If the angle of the motor output shaft is changed about 15°, a holding force is generated.
• “Load holding torque limiting setting value” parameter
The load holding torque limiting value is set with this parameter.
If –1 is set, the torque limiting value set to the selected operation data number is applied.
When the setting value of the torque limiting value exceeds 50% of the rated torque, the load holding torque is
limited to a maximum of 50%.
If a value of 0 to 50% is set, the torque limiting value having set is applied.

Note • If the power supply to the driver is turned off or if an alarm is generated, the holding force is lost.
This function cannot be used for keeping the load position when the motor stops.
• When an electromagnetic brake motor is used and the load holding function is enabled, the
electromagnetic brake is released to generate an electrical holding force when the motor stops. When
the main power is in an OFF state, a load is held by the electromagnetic brake.
• If the load holding function is enabled, the time until the motor stops will be longer than when set to
disable according to the setting or load conditions. In addition, the motor output shaft may vibrate when
the motor stops.

12 Inspection and maintenance

12.1 Inspection
It is recommended that periodic inspections would be conducted for the items listed below after each operation of
the motor. If an abnormal condition is noted, discontinue any use and contact your nearest Oriental Motor sales office.

Note • Do not conduct the insulation resistance measurement or dielectric strength test with the motor and
driver connected. Doing so may cause damage to the product.
• The driver uses semiconductor elements, so be extremely careful when handling them. Static electricity
may damage the driver.

„ Inspection item
• Check if any of the mounting screws for the motor and gearhead is loose.
• Check if the bearing part (ball bearings) of the motor generates unusual noises.
• Check if the bearing part (ball bearings) or gear meshing part of the gearhead generates unusual noises.
• Check if the output shaft of the motor and gearhead and a load shaft are out of alignment.
• Check if a damage or stress is applied on the cable or the connection part between the cable and driver is loose.
• Check if the openings in the driver are clogged.
• Check if any of the driver mounting screws or the screws of the main power supply input terminal is loose.
• Check if there is any abnormality or unusual smell inside the driver.

12.2 Warranty
Check on the Oriental Motor Website for the product warranty.

12.3 Disposal
Dispose the product correctly in accordance with laws and regulations, or instructions of local governments.

Protective functions

13 Protective functions
When the driver protective function is activated to generate an alarm, the ALARM-OUT1 output is turned OFF. In the
case of the standard type product, the motor coasts to a stop, and the motor output shaft is in a free-run state (a state
of rotating manually). In the case of the electromagnetic brake type product, on the other hand, the motor stops
instantaneously and the electromagnetic brake activates to hold the shaft in position.
At the same time, the ALARM LED will start blinking. The alarm type can be checked by counting the number of times
the ALARM LED blinks.
Blinking pattern example: Sensor error (number of blinks: 3)

To reset an alarm, be sure to remove the cause of the alarm before performing one of the following operations:
• Turn the ALARM-RESET input ON (keep it ON for 10 ms or more) and then OFF. (Refer to p.27 for details.)
• Turn on the main power supply again.
Turn on the control power supply again when connecting it.

Note • An alarm cannot be reset if the FWD input or REV input is being ON. Be sure to stop the motor before
resetting any alarm.
• Alarms caused by damage to the motor or driver itself cannot be reset using the method explained
above. Contact your nearest Oriental Motor sales office.
• Make sure the ALARM-RESET input remains ON for at least 10 ms. If the ON period is too short, the alarm
may not be reset.
• The undervoltage alarm is released automatically when the driver main power supply voltage exceeds
the undervoltage detection level. If the FWD input or REV input is being ON, the motor will rotate
concurrently with releasing the alarm.
• If an external stop alarm is generated, the motor stops instantaneously.
