Chapter 7 How to Perform An Absolute Encoder Reset
When the absolute-encoder battery voltage of the X-SEL Controller is abnormal or when the battery or
encoder cable is disconnected, an encoder battery error will occur and an absolute encoder reset must be
performed.
This chapter explains how to perform an absolute encoder reset using the PC software. For the absolute-
encoder reset method using the teaching pendant, refer to the operation manual for the teaching pendant.

1. Preparation
(1) PC
$3&LQZKLFK,$,¶V;6(/3&VRIWZare (X_SEL.exe) has been installed
(2) Connection cable (the cable supplied with the PC software)
RS232C cross cable (PC-end: female 9-pin, Controller-end: male 25-pin), or USB conversion
connector + USB cable
(3) All adjustments other than the absolute reset must have been completed.
2. Procedure
(1) Turn off the X-SEL Controller power. Turn on the PC power and wait for the operating system to
be started.
(2) Connect the 9-pin, D-sub connector on one end of the connection cable, or the USB cable, to
the communication port on the PC, and connect the 25-pin, D-sub connector on the other end to
the 25-pin communication port on the controller.
(3) Turn on the controller power. If an encoder battery error is present but no other adjustments are

has detected an encoder battery error.
(4) Start the X-SEL PC software (X_SEL.exe) on the PC. The following explains the operation
steps in the X-SEL PC software.
(5) When the [Connection Confirmation] dialog box is displayed, select the port name you are using
on the PC. Click the [OK] button.
(The software will automatically detect the baud rate.)
