17.3.7 Absolute position detection system under fully closed loop system 
An absolute type linear encoder is necessary to configure an absolute position detection system under fully 
closed loop control using a linear encoder. In this case, the encoder battery (MR-BAT6V1SET) need not be 
installed to the servo amplifier. When an rotary encoder is used, an absolute position detection system can 
be configured by installing the encoder battery (MR-BAT6V1SET) to the servo amplifier. In this case, the 
battery life will be shorter because the power consumption is increased as the power is supplied to the two 
encoders of motor side and load side. 
For the absolute position detection system with linear encoder, the restrictions mentioned in this section 
apply. Enable the absolute position detection system with [Pr. PA03 Absolute position detection system] and 
use this servo within the following restrictions. 
 
(1) Using conditions 
(a)  Use an absolute type linear encoder with the load-side encoder. 
 
(b)  Select Always fully closed loop ([Pr. PA01] = _ _ 1 _ and [Pr. PE01] = _ _ _ 0). 
 
(2)  Absolute position detection range using encoder 
 
Encoder type  Absolute position detection enabled range 
Linear encoder (serial 
interface) 
Movable distance range of scale (within 32-bit absolute position data) 
 
(3) Alarm detection 
The absolute position-related alarm ([AL. 25]) and warnings (AL. 92] and [AL. 9F]) are not detected. 
 
(4)  Absolute position data transfer to controller 
It is the same process as rotary servo motors.  (Refer to section 12.8.)
