15. ABSOLUTE POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM
(c) Checksum
The checksum is the code which is used by the programmable controller to check for errors in the
received ABS data. The 6-bit checksum is transmitted following the 32-bit ABS data.
At the programmable controller, calculate the sum of the received ABS data using the ladder
program and compare it with the checksum code sent from the servo.
The method of calculating the checksum is shown. Every time the programmable controller
receives 2 bits of ABS data, it adds the data to obtain the sum of the received data. The checksum
is 6-bit data.
Negative data is available for the FX-1PG and unavailable for the A1SD71.
Example: ABS data:
10 (FFFFFFF6H)

When the binary data of each 2bits of the
ABS data is added up, "10 1101 " is obtained.

Therefore, the checksum of " 10" (ABS data) is "2D
