4-1. Current Position Detection Function
The VS-212DN's current position detection function detects the current position using an ABSOCODER.
Conventionally, this was detected using an incremental format encoder in conjunction with a counter
unit. The above conventional method has several disadvantages; the units must be converted when
displaying the current position value, origin-point return is necessary when power supply is interrupted
due to power failure, etc.
The VS-212DN current position detection function has eliminated these problems by offering a flexible
setting format which provides maintenance-free operation.
