Inverter Positioning Section 5-3
Use the following for the present values of the internal pulse and error counter
of inverter positioning. 
A26 07 Error Counter Alarm 
Flag
ON: Error counter 
alarm
OFF: No error 
counter alarm
Turned ON at following times:
• When pulse output to error counter is 
stopped and absolute value of error 
counter present value is greater than 
or equal to error counter alarm detec-
tion value
Turned OFF at following times:
• When error counter alarm is reset 
• When power to CPU Unit is turned ON
• When CPU Unit operation starts
• When CPU Unit operation stops
This flag can be 
used to provide 
notification of 
excessive pulses in 
the error counter, 
e.g., when encoder 
wiring breaks dur-
ing positioning. 
08 to 14 Not used. 
15 Inverter Positioning 
Output Value Sign 
Flag
ON: Positive value
OFF: Negative 
value
Turned ON at following times:
• When signed output value is between 
0000 0000 and 7FFF FFFF hex.
Turned OFF at following times:
• When signed output value is between 
FFFF FFFF and 8000 0000 hex.
This flag can be 
used as a direction 
signal
A270 00 to 15 Lower 4 digits of 
high-speed counter 
present value
8000 000 to 7FFF 
FFFF hex 
(−2,147,483,648 to 
2,147,483,647)
The present value of the feedback 
pulse from the encoder.
Operation is the same as for a high-
speed counter. 
Use as the abso-
lute position of the 
workpiece posi-
tioned with inverter 
positioning. 
A271 00 to 15 Upper 4 digits of 
high-speed counter 
present value

A22 00 to 15 Error counter 0 
present value 
(signed) 
8000 to 7FFF hex 
(−32,768 to 
32,767)
Cleared to zero at following times:
• When power to CPU Unit is turned ON
• At start of operation
• When an error counter error occurs
Updated at following times: 
• Cyclically according to error counter 
cycle
Held at following times: 
• When Error Counter Disable Bit 
(A562.01) is turned ON. 
Use to monitor the 
difference between 
the target value 
and the present 
value.
A28 00 to 15 Lower 4 digits of 
present value of 
pulse output to 
inverter (relative 
value)
8000 0000 to 7FFF 
FFFF hex
(−2,147,483,648 to 
2,147,483,647)
Contains relative internal pulse output 
value when pulses are output to error 
counter. 
Cleared to zero at following times: 
• When power to CPU Unit is turned ON
• When operation is started
• When pulse output to error counter is 
started
Updated at following times:
• Cyclically on error counter cycle
These values can 
be used to monitor 
the present value 
of internal pulse 
output. 
A29 00 to 15 Upper 4 digits of 
present value of 
pulse output to 
inverter (relative 
value)
