15. ABSOLUTE POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM
15.5 Signal explanation
When the absolute position data is transferred, the signals of connector CN1 change as described in this
section. They return to the previous status on completion of data transfer. The other signals are as
described in section 3.3.2.
For the I/O interfaces (symbols in the I/O Category column in the table), refer to section 3.6.

mode
ABSM
(Note)
CN1B-8
While ABSM is on, the servo amplifier is in the ABS transfer
mode, and the functions of ZSP, TLC, and D01 are as
indicated in this table.
DI-1
ABS request ABSR
(Note)
CN1B-9
Turn on ABSR to request the ABS data in the ABS transfer
mode.
DI-1
ABS bit 0 D01 CN1B-4
Indicates the lower bit of the ABS data (2 bits) which is sent
from the servo to the programmable controller in the ABS
transfer mode.
If there is a signal, D01 turns on.
DO-1
ABS bit 1 ZSP CN1B-19
Indicates the upper bit of the ABS data (2 bits) which is sent
from the servo to the programmable controller in the ABS
transfer mode.
If there is a signal, ZSP turns on.
DO-1
Send data ready TLC CN1B-6
Indicates that the data to be sent is being prepared in the
ABS transfer mode. At the completion of the ready state, TLC
turns on.
DO-1
Home position
setting
CR CN1A-8
When CR is turned on, the position control counter is cleared
and the home position data is stored into the non-volatile
memory (backup memory).
DI-1
P
(Position
control)
Note. When "Used in absolute position detection system" is selected in parameter No. 1, pin CN1B-8 acts as the ABS transfer mode
(ABSM) and pin CN1B-9 as the ABS request (ABSR). They do not return to the original signals if data transfer ends.
