15. ABSOLUTE POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM
15.8 Examples of use
15.8.1 MELSEC-A1S (A1SD71)
(1) Instructions
The absolute coordinate system (programmable controller coordinate system) of the A1SD71 (AD71)
only covers the range in which the address increases (positive coordinate values) on moving away from
the machine home position (the position reached in the home position return operation). Therefore, if
the motor enters the range where the coordinate value is negative due to the load torque or a fall on a
vertical axis when the power is turned ON/OFF at a point near the machine home position, the system
fails to detect the absolute position. To prevent this problem, it is necessary to set the home position
(operation home position) for positioning in addition to the machine home position.
(a) The home position should be set in the direction in which the position address of the programmable
controller coordinate system increases on moving away from machine home position, as illustrated
below. Note that the home position for positioning must be more than one revolution of the servo
motor shaft from the machine home position.
If the address of the machine home position is changed to any value other than "0", the home
position should be set in the direction in which the position address increases on moving away from
the machine home position (machine home position after changing the home position address) and
at a point removed from the machine home position by more than one revolution of the motor shaft.

(b) In the range where the address decreases on moving away from the machine home position, do not
turn the power supply to the programmable controller or the servo amplifier, the servo-on
pushbutton switch, or the PC-RESET switch, ON/OFF. If any of these operations are attempted,
the ABS coordinate error (Y4B) is output since the absolute position cannot be detected.
