2. How to Perform Absolute Reset (Absolute Specification)
If the ASEL controller experiences any abnormal absolute-encoder battery voltage or the battery or
encoder cable is disconnected, an encoder battery error will generate. In this case, you must perform an
absolute reset.
This chapter explains how to perform an absolute reset using the PC software. For the procedure to
perform an absolute reset from the teaching pendant, refer to the operation manual for your teaching
pendant.
2.1 Preparation
(1) PC
PC in which IAI’s X-SEL PC software (X_SEL.exe) has been installed
(2) PC cable (supplied with the PC software)
RS232C cross cable (fitted with a female 9-pin connector on the PC end and a male 25-pin connector
on the controller end)
+Connector conversion cable
Alternatively, use a USB cable and a dummy plug (optional).
(3) All adjustment items other than absolute reset must have been completed.
2.2 Procedure
(1) Turn off the ASEL controller power. Turn on the PC power and wait for the OS to start.
(2) Connect the 9-pin D-sub connector on the PC cable to the communication port on the PC, and
connect the 25-pin D-sub connector to the teaching connector on the controller.
Alternatively, connect the PC and controller using a USB cable. If the USB port is used, a dummy
plug must be connected to the teaching connector.
(3) Turn on the controller power. An encoder battery error will generate. If no other adjustment item is
outstanding, “ECA2” or “E914” should be displayed on the 7-segment LED. This indicates that the
controller has detected the encoder battery error.
(4) Launch the X-SEL PC software (X_SEL.exe) on the PC. The following steps explain the operating
procedures in the X-SEL PC software.
(5) When the Connection Check dialog box appears, set the communication port you are using on your
PC. Click OK. (The baud rate need not be set. The software will automatically detect and set the
baud rate.)
