1. Handling Precautions
DANGER
- Do not touch components inside of the controller;
otherwise, it will cause electric shock.
- Do not damage the cable by applying excessive load, placing
heavy objects on it, or clamping;
otherwise, it will cause electric shock or fire.
- Turn the power supply OFF before wiring, transporting, and inspecting
the controller; otherwise, it may cause electric shock.
- Provide an external safety circuit so that the entire system
functions safely even when the controller is faulty.
- Connect the grounding terminal of the controller;
otherwise, it may case electric shock or malfunction.
CAUTION
- Do not use the controller in the following places; water splashes,
the atmosphere of the corrosion, the atmosphere of the flammable
vapor, and the side of the combustibility.
Doing so may result in fire or the controller may become faulty.
- Be sure to use the controller and the ABSOCODER sensor in the
environment designated by the general specifications in the manual.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, malfunction or unit
failure.
- Be sure to use the specified combination of the ABSOCODER
sensor, controller and sensor cable; otherwise, it may cause fire or
controller malfunction.
2. Storage
CAUTION
- Do not store the controller in a place exposed to water, or toxic
gas and liquid.
- Be sure to store the controller in designed temperature and humidity
range, and do not exposed to direct sunlight.
- Be sure to consult with NSD when the controller is stored for long
periods.
3. Transport
CAUTION
- Do not hold the cable or shaft of ABSOCODER sensor during
transport; otherwise, it will cause injury or controller malfunction.
4. Installation
CAUTION
- Do not step on the ABSOCODER sensor or place heavy objects on
the controller; otherwise, it will cause injury.
- Do not block the exhaust port or allow any foreign matter to enter
the controller; otherwise, it will cause fire or unit failure.
- Be sure to secure the controller and ABSOCODER sensor with the
provided brackets; otherwise, it may cause malfunction, injury, or
drop.
- Be sure to secure the specified distance between the main body
and the control panel or other equipments; otherwise, it may cause
malfunction.
5. Wiring
DANGER
- Be sure to secure the terminal block firmly; otherwise, it may have
risk of fire.
- Be sure to mount the terminal cover provided with the controller,
before supplying the power, starting operation after the installation,
and wiring; otherwise, it may cause electric shock.
CAUTION
- Be sure to keep the sensor cable, control cable, and communication
cable at least 300 mm away from the main circuit and power line;
otherwise it may cause injury or malfunction.
- Be sure to connect all cables correctly; otherwise, it may cause injury
or controller malfunction.
- Be sure to firmly connect the external I/O connectors and sensor
connectors; otherwise, it may cause incorrect inputs and outputs or
injury.
6. Operation
CAUTION
- Do not change the controller's function switch settings during the
operation; otherwise, it will cause injury.
- Do not approach the machine after instantaneous power failure
has been recovered.
Doing so may result in injury if the machine starts abruptly, it will
cause injury.
- Be sure to check that the power supply specifications are correct;
otherwise, it may caused controller failure.
- Be sure to provide an external emergency stop circuit so that
operation can be stopped with power supply terminated immediately.
- Be sure to conduct independent trial runs for the controller before
mounting the controller to the machine;
otherwise, it may cause injury.
- When an error occur, be sure to eliminate the cause, ensure
safety, and reset the error before restarting operation;
otherwise, it may cause injury.
7. Maintenance And Inspection
CAUTION
- Do not disassemble, remodel, or repair the unit;
otherwise, it will cause electric shock, fire, and unit malfunction.
- The capacitor of the power line deteriorates through prolonged use.
We recommended that the capacitor be replaced every five years
to prevent secondary damage.
8. Disposal
CAUTION
- Be sure to handle the controller as industrial waste while
disposing of it.

1. OVERVIEW
1.1 Overview

VARIANALG: Used as an alternative to potentiometers and synchronizers, the VS-1AN-1-V1PG (hereafter

referred to as “VS-1AN”) features an ABSOCODER sensor for rotational angle or linear position detection,
with the detected position being output as analog voltage.

[Features]

(1) Analog voltage output can be set as desired

A selectable detection range and output voltage range enables use in a wide range of applications.
Settings can be specified by key input (similar to a digital switch format), or by using the “teaching”
function.

(2) Easy position setting

Position settings can be specified from the control panel or by external inputs, permitting easy machine
adjustments.

(3) Limit switch output function

Maximum/minimum position limit switch outputs are possible, eliminating the need for other switches.

(4) Durable ABSOCODER sensor

NSD’s unique ABSOCODER position sensor is designed to withstand vibration, shocks, severe temperature,
oil, and dust, etc..

(5) No origin-point return required when power is interrupted

An absolute angle detection format eliminates cumulative error, and does away, with the need for origin-
point returns when the power supply is interrupted.

- Wiring Precautions

(1) The sensor cable should be clamped as shown at right to

prevent excessive tension from being applied to the cable
connectors. Cable clamp

(2) The sensor cable should be located as far as possible from

power lines and other lines which enerate a high level of
electrical noise.

75mm
(3) If the cable movement (when used at moving component) is such or more

that it is bent into a U-shape, a robotic cable or a heat-resistant

cable should be used.
The bend radius should never be less than 75 mm.

5.2 Power Supply Connection

(1) Power Supply

- Rush current amount when power is turned ON: 10A max (rush time of 20ms)
- Power supply capacity should be selected twice as large as power consumption.
- The input power supply should be isolated from the commercial power supply (power supply furnished
by the power company).
- Use the R3 type crimp lug terminals with insulating sleeves in order to prevent shorting caused by
loose screws.
- The power cable should be as thick as possible to minimize voltage drops.
- Twist the power cable.

(2) Ground
- The unit should be securely grounded (ground resistance of 100 ohm or less) to prevent electrical
shocks.
- The ground cable should be as thick as possible.

- Signal name & description

Signal name Description
This signal changes the analog voltage output corresponding to a current position angle
to the value specified by a parameter setting (C.P: Center Position voltage setting).
Input C.P IN
When this signal input occurs with the machine at its reference position, the voltage
output is changed to the specified setting value.
This signal is output when in the RUN mode, with the controller and sensor statuses
RUN
normal.
Compares the current position angle and the setting value, and outputs the ON/OFF
LS1，2
Output signals accordingly. Used for Max./Min. limits.
Outputs the analog voltage for a given current position angle in accordance with the
VOUT
parameter setting.
MON. Outputs the same analog voltage as VOUT. (For monitor)

Important
- When using the position voltage outputs for control purposes within the user-responsible range,
be sure that the response, resolution, and accuracy settings are appropriate.
- The position voltage outputs are not insulated. When the input common for the position voltage
outputs is shared with an AC phase, or when its status is unknown, be sure to connect the outputs via
insulating amplifier to prevent the risk of fires, electrical shocks, and ground fault as shown below.

6.2.2 Operation Steps

The operation steps for each mode are shown below.

15
6.2.3 Basic Operation

(1) Power ON
The VS-1AN controller is not equipped with a power switch. Power ON/OFF switching is executed by
an external switch. When power ON, the RUN mode will be selected.

Note
Before switching the power ON, be sure that the wiring is correct, and the terminals are secure.
