External scale RS485 communication procedure
Refer to the instruction manual of the host for the transmission/reception method of com-
mand. Following shows the communication example of the driver to Pr5.31 “Axis address
= 1”.

Transferring external scale absolute data
Data of *1, *2 and *3 are determined by the setup of
Pr5.31 “Axis address”.

Check sum becomes OK'ed when the lower 8-bit of the
sum of the received absolute data (15 characters) is 0.
Command from the host will be transmitted to the desired driver based on RS485 trans-
mission protocol. For details of communication, refer to P.7-27, "Communication".
Caution
• Allow 50 ms or longer interval for axis switching when you want to
capture multiple axes data.
• It is recommended for you to repeat the above communication more
than 2 times to conrm the absolute data coincide, in order to avoid
mis-operation due to unexpected noise.
