6.13 Absolute Linear Encoders
6.13.4 Reading the Position Data from the Absolute Linear Encoder
6-91
Sequence for Reading the Position Data from the Absolute
Encoder without Using the SEN (Absolute Data Request) Signal
The sequence for reading the position data from the absolute linear encoder of a Linear Servomotor
without using the SEN signal is given below.
When the specified time has elapsed after the control power supply to the SERVOPACK is turned ON,
the SERVOPACK will automatically read the position data from the absolute linear encoder.
The upper 16-bit position data (with sign) are sent according to the transmission specifications.
The lower 20-bit data is output as a pulse train.
