4.7. Absolute Encoders
4.7.1. Selecting an Absolute Encoder
An absolute encoder can also be used as an incremental encoder.
Absolute Encoder Type Resolution Output Range of Multiturn Data Action when limit is exceeded
BCSD Series
17-bit/
single turn
-32768 ~ +32767
- When the upper limit (+32767) is
exceeded in the forward
direction, the multiturn data is
-32768.
- When the lower limit (-32768) is
exceeded in the reverse
direction, the multiturn data is
+32767.
Parameter Meaning
Pn002
b.
0 Use the absolute encoder as an absolute encoder. (Factory setting)
b.
1 Use the absolute encoder as an incremental encoder.
- The back-up battery are not required when using the absolute encoder as an incremental encoder.
- After changing these parameters, turn OFF the main circuit and control power supplies and then turn them ON
again to enable the new settings.
