9.2 Setting Procedure of Absolute Position Detection Function
This section explains the procedure for setting the Absolute Position Detection Function.
9.2.1 System Startup Flowchart
Start up the system using the following procedure.
* If the system does not satisfy the conditions described in
9.4.1 ( 2 )
Conditions to Enable the Simple Absolute Infinite
Axis Position Control when using the axis as an infinite length axis, the Machine Controller carries out the operation
without using simple absolute length position control.
After the steps 2 to 4 described above are successfully completed, the absolute position detection system will be ready
for operation.
 Always perform the startup procedure of the absolute position detection system in the following situations.
• When starting up the absolute position detection system for the first time
• When the Servomotor is changed
• When an absolute encoder-related alarm occurs
1
Check Devices
Check to see if the SERVOPACK, Servomotor, and cables are the right products and models for the absolute encoder.
2
Initialize the Absolute Encoder
Follow the setup procedure to set the absolute encoder to default values.
(→ 9.2.2 Initializing the Absolute Encoder, and Appendix C Initializing the Absolute Encoder)
3
Setting Parameters Related to the Machine Controller and the SERVOPACKs
Set all parameters related to the Absolute Position Detection Function of the Machine Controller and SERVOPACKs.
The setting procedure for a finite length axis is different from that for an infinite length axis.
When using the axis as a Finite
Length Axis
→ 9.3.1 Parameter Settings for Finite
Length Axes
When using the axis as an Infinite Length Axis
→ 9.4.1 ( 2 ) Conditions to Enable the Simple Absolute Infinite Axis Position
Control
*
With simple absolute infinite length
position control
→ 9.4.2 Parameter Settings for Sim-
ple Absolute Infinite Length Posi-
tion Control
Without simple absolute infinite
length position control
*
→ 9.4.5 Infinite Length Position Con-
trol without Simple Absolute Posi-
tions
4
Zero Point Setting
Set the zero point as well as the absolute zero point, that is, the machine coordinate zero point.
The setting procedure for a finite length axis is different from that of an infinite length axis.
When using the axis as a Finite
Length Axis
→ 9.3.2 Setting the Zero Point for a
Finite Length Axis
With simple absolute infinite length
position control
→ 9.4.3 Setting the Zero Point and
Turning ON Power as Simple
Absolute Positions
Without simple absolute infinite
length position control
*
→ 9.4.5 ( 3 ) Setting the Zero Point
for an Infinite Length Axis without
Simple Absolute Positions
