Panasonic MINAS-A5B Series - Absolute Setup; Absolute Encoder

No. SX-DSV02472 -45-
4-7 Absolute setup
4-7-1 Absolute encoder
When using the motor with absolute encoder or absolute/incremental common encoder, you can compose an absolute
system, which does not require to execute a homing operation at power-ON. For that, it is necessary to set Pr 0.15
(Absolute encoder setup) to “0”or “2” after connecting the battery for absolute encoder.

You can set up the using method of 17-bit absolute encoder.
*2)
0: Use as an absolute encoder.
1: Use as an incremental encoder.
2: Use as an absolute encoder, but ignore the multi-turn counter
over.
*1) For parameter attribute, refer to Section 9-1.
*2) During full-closed controlling, treated as an incremental encoder (setting value = 1) for internal control.
1) Structure of absolute system
Absolute system configuration using EtherCAT communication interface (example: with servo driver single-axis
connection)
In the EtherCAT communication response (driver → host controller), the absolute data is transferred to the host
controller as the current position data.

*1. Connect to either X4 or the junction connector between X6 and the encoder, when you connect the battery.
Do not connect to both.
Note: During replacing the battery, the control power input must be held ON. If not so, the absolute data will be lost.
