Either “0” or “1” in the following table must be set in order to enable
the absolute encoder.
Pn002.2 Setting Result
0 Uses the absolute encoder as an absolute encoder.
1 Uses the absolute encoder as an incremental encoder.
The following parameter is used to periodically clear the encoder’s
counter (return the setting to 0) after a designated ratio of motor to load
axis revolutions. This function is called the multi-turn limit.
Note: The term Multi-turn Limit refers to the highest number of rotations the encoder’s counter will display
before returning the counter to 0.

• When Pn205 is set to the default (65535), multi-turn data varies in
the range of −32768 to +32767.
• With any other Pn205 value entered, data varies from 0 to the set
value.
Note: To activate reassignment of this value, the user must first enter the change to the parameter, and then
cycle (turn OFF and then turn ON) the power.
Since the encoder’s multi-turn limit value is set by default to 65535, the
following alarm occurs if the servo amplifier’s power supply is cycled
(turned OFF and ON) after changing parameter Pn205:

Encoder multi-turn limit value does not
match with that of the servo amplifier.
Note: O: ON (“L”) signal
X: OFF (“H”) signal
