4.7.4 Absolute Encoder Setup

Perform the setup operation for the absolute encoder in the following circumstances:

• When starting the machine for the first time.
• When an encoder backup alarm is generated.
• When the SERVOPACK’s power supply is turned OFF and the encoder’s cable is

removed.

The setup operation can be performed by using the Hand-held Digital Operator or the SER-
VOPACK’s Panel Operator, or else personal computer monitor software can be employed.

The setup operation procedure shown here uses the Digital Operator. For more details, refer
to Chapter6 Using the Digital Operator.

The absolute encoder setup operation is only possible when the servo is OFF. After the setup process-
ing is finished, turn the power back ON again.

Setup Using the Hand-held Digital Operator

1. Press the DSPL/SET Key to select the auxiliary function mode.

2. Select the parameter Fn008. Press the Left or Right Cursor Key to select the digit. Press

the Up or Down Cursor Key to change the number.

3. Press the DATA/ENTER Key. The following display will appear.

• Install the battery at either the host controller or the SERVOPACK.

It is dangerous to install batteries at both simultaneously, because that sets up a loop circuit between the bat-
teries.
