[2]   Outline of absolute position detection data communication  
As shown in Fig. 12.35 System block diagram, the detector comprises an 
encoder for detecting its position in one rotation in addition to the A, B, Z phase 
signal for position control in normal operation and a cumulative rotation counter 
for detecting the number of rotations. 
The absolute position detection system detects the absolute position of the 
machine constantly and stores it with the backup of the battery irrespective of 
whether the programmable controller system power is turned ON/OFF.  Thus, 
once the OP initial setting is carried out at the time of installation of the machine, 
the OPR is not required even when the power is later turned ON.  The restoration 
can be carried out easily when an instantaneous power interruption or 
emergency stop occurs. 
In addition, because the absolute position data is backed up by a super 
condenser built in the detector, the absolute position data will be stored for a 
specified time even if the cable is disconnected or broken.
