(5) When the following ‘Warning’ dialog box appears, click Yes

(6) After the Encoder Rotation Data Reset 1 process is completed, the red arrow will move to the next item
below. Click the applicable button. Repeat this operation until all of the following processes are completed
(every time a process is completed, the red arrow will move to the next item below):
1. Reset Controller Error
2. Servo ON
3. Returning Home
4. Servo OFF
Note: If you are using PC software of version 1.1.0.0 or later and a driver with CPU version 0.23 or later,
the Encoder Rotation Data Reset 2 process is performed with the servo ON. Accordingly, the servo
OFF step is skipped.
5. Encoder Rotation Data Reset 2
(Note) With an earlier product, clicking Reset Controller Error may generate an error (No. D10: IPM
error). If this error occurs, close the PC tool, reconnect the controller power, and then repeat from
step (2). (If the encoder battery is normal, the error will no longer occur after the power is
reconnected and "rdy" or "Ardy" will be shown on the controller’s 7-segment display. Take note
that the axis has not yet completed homing in this state).
After the Encoder Rotation Data Reset 2 process is completed, the red arrow will return to the position in
(3). If you want to perform an absolute encoder reset for multiple axes, select each subsequent target axis
and repeat the steps from (3). To end the reset operation, click Close to close the Abs. Encoder Reset
dialog box.
(Note) If a need arises to perform an absolute encoder reset for multiple axes, be sure to complete steps
(3) through (6) for all applicable axes before performing a software reset in step (7).
(7) When the following confirmation dialog box for software reset appears, click Yes to restart the controller.
Fig. 14.5 Confirmation
(8) If no other error is present, the controller’s 7-segment display will show "rdy."
(9) This completes the absolute encoder reset operation.
To repeat the reset operation, close the X-SEL PC software first, and then repeat the steps from the
beginning.
(Note) After performing an absolute reset,
always execute a software reset.
