The output position of the origin signal (Ref) will depend on the direction of movement for
some models of incremental linear encoders from Renishaw PLC.
In that case, the phase-C pulse of the SERVOPACK is output at two positions.
For detailed specifications on the origin signal, refer to the manual for the Renishaw PLC
incremental linear encoder.

No origin signal (Ref) is output by the incremental linear
encoder. However, a phase-C pulse will be output from the
SERVOPACK when the motor moves in the reverse
direction, because this is the same position from which a
phase-C pulse was output when the motor moved in the
forward direction.

n Encoder Divided Phase-C Pulse Output Selection
You can also output the encoder’s phase-C pulse for reverse movement. To do so, set
Pn081 to n.1.
Parameter Meaning When Enabled Classification
Pn081
n.0
(default
setting)
Output phase-C pulses
only in the forward direc-
tion.
After restart Setup
n.1
Output phase-C pulses
in both the forward and
reverse directions.
