5) Using a Battery
Use the following battery to enable the absolute encoder to store position information
even when the power is turned OFF. Load the battery in the host controller and connect it
to Servopack input terminals BAT and BAT0.
Recommended battery:
D Connect the battery securely to prevent contact faults
resulting from environmental changes or aging.
Lithium battery
Toshiba Battery ER6V C3 Type
3.6 V, 2000 mAH
D Battery voltage is not monitored inside the Servopack.
Provide a battery voltage monitor circuit as necessary.
Minimum voltage: 2.8 V
6) Setting up Absolute Encoder
a) Set up the absolute encoder in the following cases:
• When starting the machine for the first time
• When the absolute encoder is not connected to power supply or backup power supply
(battery) for more than two days
