12. ABSOLUTE POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM
CAUTION
If [AL. 25 Absolute position erased] or [AL. E3 Absolute position counter warning]
has occurred, always perform home position setting again. Otherwise, it may
cause an unexpected operation.
If [AL. 25], [AL. 92], or [AL. 9F] occurs due to a failure, such as short circuit of the
battery, the MR-BAT6V1 battery can become hot. Use the MR-BAT6V1 battery
with a case to prevent getting burnt.
POINT
Replacing a battery will erase the absolute position data.
Refer to section 11.5 for the replacement procedure of the battery.
When absolute position data is erased from the encoder, always execute home
position setting before operation.
12.1 Summary
12.1.1 Features
For normal operation, 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 servo system controller power is on or off. Therefore, once
home position return is made at the time of machine installation, home position return is not needed when
power is switched on thereafter.
Even at a power failure or a malfunction, the system can be easily restored.
