3.4 Absolute Reset Procedure
The simple absolute specification and battery-less absolute specification retain the encoder
position information even when the power is turned off. With these specifications, there is no
need to perform home return every time at startup.
For simple absolute specification, home must be registered (absolute reset) in the following
cases (1) to (3).
(1) Initial startup
(2) When the power of RCON system is turned off and the battery of the simple absolute unit is
replaced
(3) When the motor/encoder cable is removed from the simple absolute unit
For battery-less absolute specification, home must be registered in the following cases (1) and (2).
(1) When replacing motor
(2) When absolute error occurs
Absolute reset is performed by operating a teaching tool such as PC software or issuing a
command from the host PLC. Each procedure is shown below.
