FAQ Contoroller

The following two points of the parameter (MENU → PRM) and the selection of the speed table (SPD) are required.

◆ "MENU" → "PRM" → "4. Unitset"
・ Unit (notation such as μm, mm, Puls ), setting of movement amount per pulse at full step,
    number of driver divisions.
・ Check the resolution of the catalog spec and make settings.

◆ "MENU" → "PRM" → "5. Orgin Type"
・origin return type setting.
・ Set with reference to the recommended origin return type in the electrical specification (timing chart)
    of the catalog.

◆ "SPD"
・In the drive mode screen, pressing the "SPD" button allows you to select the speed table number (0 to 9).
・The value set for each speed table number can be confirmed on P. 76 of the instruction manual,
   or can be confirmed on “MENU” → “PRM” → “3. Speed ​​Table”.

-In addition, it is also possible to change the setting of the speed table to any value
 by parameter (PRM) setting.

To control 4 axes, 2 of our controllers are required.
Connect the controllers with a dedicated link cable (model : DS100-LINK2-0.5).
Only one handy terminal is required, since commands to the controller are issued only to the controller set as the master unit.

There is no problem as long as it is a cross cable.
Please refer to the following diagram. (D100-R9-2 drawing)
*Please note that it cannot drive with a straight cable.

◆ The difference between DS102 and DS112
The input power is different.
The DS102 is for AC power and the DS112 is for DC power.

◆ Differences between NR and MS (at the end of DS102A/DS112ANR and DS102A/DS112AMS)
Theis a difference in number of splits that can be switched.
The NR (Normal) type can switch between FULL step and HALF step only, and the MS (Micro Step) type
can switch between 16 steps.

◆ Difference due to the presence or absence of "-IO" at the end
This is a difference due to the presence or absence of general purpose input / output function (I / O).
In addition to the control input / output (CNT-I / O) functions included with all products, this is an
option to add general-purpose input / output functions.

【Control input / output (CNT-IO)】
Outputs the status of the motorized stage. In addition, you can specify the teaching point number
and program number, move the teaching point, and start and stop program driving.
By connecting this CNT-I / O to the I / O of PLC, motorized stage control can be easily performed from PLC.

【General-purpose input / output (I / O)】
A general-purpose input / output function with 16 inputs and 12 outputs for controlling various sensors,
switches, solenoid valves, and indicator lights .
It can be controlled by the handy terminal, control software and communication command.

It is only the difference of whether it is in a case (box type) or not.As these are all compatible with Suruga Seiki products, there is no problem in selecting either product.
* Please check the instruction manual for details of the functions.

The command has been inherited as it is. However, due to differences in communication speed, etc., it can not always be used as it is.

Also, when using a stage with an electromagnetic brake such as “KS102-30E / Discontinued product”,special support is available. Please inquire for price and delivery time.

The D250 series has no simultaneous drive function.

The connector on the controller side is different from the one currently sold.If you have a cable (D70- □-□) that was sold before, you can connect it and use it.

Please contact out sales office about whether the current products can be controlled with D92.

The D250 series has no simultaneous drive function.

Our controller does not have speed setting function on a sine waveform.

It is a function that can set the movement amount per pulse finely by increasing the electrical resolution.
The division number setting is 16 patterns. (1,2,2.5,4,5,8,10,20,25,40,50,80,100,125,200,250)
* However, the actual following capability depends on the product. It is a standard of about 1/20 in the
  linear motion stage. (Not covered by warranty)

CAD data of the controller is not available. Please refer to the external view of the instruction manual
for the dimensions.

Direct command input is required to drive 3-axis linear interpolation with DSCONTROL-WIN.
Use the GOLine command (see the instruction manual: p. 83).

* Linear interpolation between links (2nd and 3rd axes, 1st and 6th axes, etc.) is a simple interpolation.
  The start of interpolation is less accurate than between units (axis 1 and axis 2).

It is possible to print out the data saved in the PC with the save button
on the program screen if it is opened with Notepad.

* At that time, please note that the first line number of the program will be from 1.

It supports Windows 11.Supported OS: Windows 10/11

USB driver for Windows 11 can be downloaded from the below link.

It is not a defect of the product. It is an automatic search error of COM port number.Please rewrite the port number manually according to the following procedure.

(1) Please open the device manager. (Enter the device manager in the search box on the task bar)
(2) Check the □ number of “SURUGA SEIKI DS102 USB Serial Port (COM □)” directly under the port
     (COM and LPT)
(3) Please open the setting file (DSControlWin.ini) in the following directory:
     C:\Program Files\SURUGA\DSControlWin with a text editor such as Notepad.
(4) Rewrite the value of Port Number with the COM port number confirmed by the device manager,
     close the file by overwriting it.
(5) Start DSCONTROL-WIN again.

【Possible cause】
Improper connection of motorized stage connection cable or power cable

【Action】
Check if the connection of motorized stage connection cable or power cable is correct.

【Probable cause 1】
Emergency stop is working.
【Action 1】
Make sure that the "emergency stop input (EMS)" is not ON (the 2 pins of EMS connector are not open).
Please refer to DS102/112 Operation Manual page 70.

【Probable cause 2】
The setting of the DIP switch on the back is incorrect.
【Action 2】
Check the DIP switch setting in the instruction manual (page 119).

【Probable cause 3】
The sensor logic setting is incorrect.
For motorized rotary stages (KRE series), it is necessary to set the limit sensor to be normally open.
【Action 3】
Please confirm the sensor logic setting of the parameter.

【Probable cause 4】
The current down function is "OFF" (in the case of a normal driver).
【Action 4】
Switch the current down function to "ON". Please refer to the instruction manual page 94.

【Probable Cause 1】
Unit setting error of parameters.
【Action 1】
Value to be set to STANDARD (ST) shall be the amount of movement per pulse of "full step setting,"
even if you change the setting of number of divisions.
Please set the value of each stage by referencing catalog, etc.

【Probable cause 2】
Only number of divisions on handy terminal is changed.
* In the case of micro-step type
【Action 2】
In the case of micro-step type (such as DS102MS), if you want to change the number of divisions,
please change both the switch settings and the controller of the handy terminal.

【Possible cause】
The current down function is "OFF" .
【Action】
Switch the current down function to "ON".

【Probable cause 1】
The load is large. Or, the load fluctuation is large.
【Action 1】
Check if there is a large load fluctuation during operation.
If there is no problem by lowering the motor rotation speed which has higher torque,
it is necessary to review the load conditions.

【Probable cause 2】
The start pulse speed is too high.
【Action 2】
Reduce the start pulse speed, and reset it to a time that can be stably started.

【Probable cause 3】
The acceleration (deceleration) time is too short.
【Action 3】
Increase the acceleration (deceleration) time, and reset it to a time that can be stably started.

【Probable cause】
The motor of the motorized stage is resonating.

【Action】
When the driving pulse speed is changed and the vibration becomes smaller, the motor is
likely to be resonating.
Change the setting of driving pulse speed or install a clean damper (commercially available) to
suppress vibration.

【Probable cause 1】
The operation time is long.
【Action 1】
Reduce the operating time or increase the stop time. Please use motor case temperature
at 100 degrees or less.

【Probable cause 2】
The current down function is "OFF".
【Action 2】
Switch the current down function to "ON".

【Possible cause 1】
The setting of the DIP switch(slave/master) on the back is incorrect.
【Action 1】
Check the DIP switch setting in the instruction manual (page 119).

【Possible cause 2】
The power on procedure is incorrect.
【Action 2】
Please turn the power on in the following series: slave 2 > slave 1 >Master.

When using the KRE series with the DS102 / 112, set the limit sensor logic to A (Normal Open).
