Set the dividing ratio for the encoder resolution and external encoder resolution.
Check the number of encoder feedback pulses and the number of external encoder output pulses per
motor rotation, and set the External Feedback Pulse Dividing Numerator (3324 hex) and External
Feedback Pulse Dividing Denominator (3325 hex) the so that the following equation is true.
Precautions for Correct UsePrecautions for Correct Use
• If this divider setting is wrong, there will be error between the position calculated from encoder
pulses and the position calculated from external encoder pulses. If the movement distance is
long, this error accumulates and causes a Excessive Hybrid Deviation Error (Error No. 25.0).
• The recommended divider setting is 1/40 ≤ External Feedback Pulse Ratio ≤ 160. If the ratio is
set too small, control to the unit of 1 external feedback pulse may be disabled. On the other
hand, if the external feedback pulse ratio is increased, operating noise may increase.
z Setting Example
• Ball screw pitch: 10 mm
• External encoder resolution: 0.1 µm
• Encoder resolution: 20 bits
