4.7 Absolute Encoders

4.7.5 Absolute Data Reception Sequence
The sequence in which the SERVOPACK receives outputs from the absolute encoder and transmits them to
host controller is shown below.
(1) Outline of Absolute Data
The serial data, pulses, etc., of the absolute encoder that are output from the SERVOPACK are output from the
PAO, PBO, and PCO signals as shown below.
Phase-C Output Specifications
The pulse width of phase C (origin pulse) changes depending on the encoder output pulse (Pn212), becoming
the same width as phase A.
The output timing is one of the following.
• Synchronized with the rising edge of phase A
• Synchronized with the falling edge of phase A
• Synchronized with the rising edge of phase B
• Synchronized with the falling edge of phase B
Note: When host controller receives the data of absolute encoder, do not perform counter reset using the output of PCO
signal.
4
Press the Key to setup the absolute encoder.
After completing the setup, "DONE" is flashed for
approximately one second and "BB" is displayed.
5
Press the Key to return to the display of the pro-
cedure 1.
6 To enable the change in the setting, turn the power OFF and ON again.
