4.5 Absolute Reset
ME0342-4B 4-129
4.5 Absolute Reset
In Simple Absolute Type and Battery-less Absolute Type, the encoder position information is
retained even when the power is OFF. For those types, it is unnecessary to perform home-
return operation every time the power is turned ON.
For Simple Absolute Type registers the home position in the cases of (1) to (3) (absolute reset)
to retain.
(1) At initial startup
(2) When the absolute battery was replaced with the power to the controller is shut, and
(3) Disconnection of encoder cable from controller
Battery-less Absolute Type registers the home position in the cases of (1) and (2) stated below.
(1) At motor replacement
(2) When absolute error generated
Refer to [2.6.2 Absolute Battery • Absolute Battery Unit] for the specifications of the absolute
battery and absolute unit.
For how to replace an absolute battery or absolute unit, check in [7.4.1 Replacement of Absolute
Battery].
