3.8.5 Using an Absolute Encoder
1) Outline
An absolute value detection system detects an absolute position of the machine even
when the servo system is OFF. If such a system is to be formed in the host controller, use
an SGM or SGMP Servomotor with absolute encoder. Consequently, automatic opera-
tion can be performed without zero return operation immediately after the power is turned
ON.

Termination Resistor R: 220 to 470 Ω
Normally, PAO serial data is used. In this case, PS serial interface is unnecessary.
