Contents of Absolute Data
• Serial Data: Indicates how many revolutions the motor shaft has rotated from
the reference position (specified at setup).
• Initial Incremental Pulse Count: Indicates the number of pulses generated
when the motor rotates from the origin position to the current position of the
motor shaft at a maximum speed of about 4,900 r/min.
The current position (PE) can be determined using the following formula, where
M is serial data (number of motor revolutions), PO is the number of initial incre-
mental pulses counted, and R is the number of output pulses per motor shaft
revolution that is set for the divider circuit.
PE = M x R + PO
