Method to Absolute Reset (for absolute type)
12.2.1 For X-SEL Controller
The encoder battery error occurs when there is an abnormality on the absolute encoder battery voltage
on X-SEL controller and the encoder cable is off the battery, and it is necessary to conduct an absolute
reset.
[1] Preparation
(1) Computer
A computer that the PC software dedicated for our X-SEL (X_SEL.exe) is already installed.
(2) Connection Cable (Cable packaged in the PC software)
RS232C Cross Cable (PC side / Female, 9-pin, Controller side / Male, 25-pin)
(3) It is assumed that all necessary adjustments other than the absolute reset are already
completed.

(2) Connect the 9-pin D sub-connector of the connection cable to the communication port on the
PC, and 25-pin D sub-connector to the 25-pin communication port on the controller.
(3) Turn on the power supply to the controller. Unless there is no other error being occurred, 7-seg
LED should show "E914" or "ECA2" and controller shows that it detected an encoder battery
error.
(4) Boot the X-SEL PC software (X_SEL.exe) on the computer.
Shown below is the explanation for the operation on X-SEL software.
(5) [Connection Check] dialog box appears. Adjust the communication port setting to the computer
that you are using. Then, click OK .
(The baud rate will be automatically detected without any manual setting.)
