Absolute Reset of A Synchro Controller
If you have specified the synchro specification at the time of order, the controller has been shipped with
their parameters set for the synchro specification.
To perform an absolute reset, however, the parameters must be changed.
The explanation given below is based on the operation in the PC software. Read the operation manual for
the PC software before performing an absolute reset.
1. Synchro Axes
Synchro axes consist of a master axis and a slave axis. The axis with the smaller axis number becomes
the master axis.
Program commands are valid only for the master axis (issuance of commands to the slave axis is
prohibited).
Absolute reset can be performed using the standard procedure or special procedure. Which procedure to
use is determined by the values set for the master axis and slave axis in “Axis-specific parameter No. 38,
Encoder ABS/INC type.”
Values in “Axis-specific parameter No. 38, Encoder ABS/INC type”
Master axis Slave axis
Absolute reset method
1 1 Special procedure
1 0 Standard procedure
0 0
(If the master axis and slave axis are both set to “0,” it means both axes are of the incremental
specification.)
Example 1) Absolute reset of a 2-axis controller using the special procedure
Example 2) Absolute reset of a 2-axis controller using the standard procedure
