10.4.4 Setting the Zero Point and Turning ON Power as Simple Absolute Positions
( 1 ) Calculating the Zero Point of the Machine Coordinate System
If using the simple absolute infinite length position control, the Machine Controller calculates the axis position (i.e.,
current position for the machine coordinate system) as follows when the power is turned ON.
Calculated Position in Machine Coordinate System (monitoring parameter IL
10
*1
or IL
16
*1
) =
Encoder position when servo power is turned ON
*2
+ Zero Point Position in Machine Coordinate System
Offset (setting parameter OL
48)
To assign the current position of the machine coordinate system as the zero position, set the OL
48 (encoder posi-
tion when servo power turns ON) to a negative value. In other words, set OL
48 to the difference between
OL
48 and IL
10 (or IL
16).
* 1. Use the IL
10 to make the machine coordinate reference position as a standard, and IL
16 to make the
machine coordinate current position as a standard.
* 2. The encoder position when the servo power is turned ON is the value that is calculated with the following equation
and converted to reference unit: Multiturn data
× Number of encoder pulses + initial increment pulses. Refer to
your SERVOPACK manual for information on the initial increment pulses.
Example: IL
10 = 10,000 and OL
48 = 100
Set the encoder position when servo power is turned ON to a negative value as shown below.
OL
48 - IL
10 = 100 - 10000
= - 9900
Set OL
48 to -9900 to assign the current position in the machine coordinate system as the zero point.
( 2 ) Setting the Zero Point for Simple Absolute Infinite Axis Position Control
The procedure to set the zero point for a simple absolute infinite axis position control is shown below.
Repeat for every axis.
