4. OPERATION
(4) Outline of absolute position detection data communication
For normal operation, as shown below, the encoder consists of a detector designed to detect a position
within one revolution and a cumulative revolution counter designed to detect the number of revolutions.
The absolute position detection system always detects the absolute position of the machine and keeps it
battery-backed, independently of whether the general-purpose programmable controller power is on or off.
Therefore, once the home position is defined at the time of machine installation, home position return is not
needed when power is switched on thereafter.
If a power failure or a fault occurs, restoration is easy.
