Magnetic Pole Detection - Mitsubishi Electric MELSERVO-J4 Series Instruction Manual

Linear encoder resolution setting
• To enable the parameter values, cycle the power after setting.
• If an incorrect value is set for [Pr. PL02]/[Pr. PL03], the linear servo motor may not operate properly, or [AL.
27]/[AL. 42] may occur during the positioning operation/the magnetic pole detection.
Set the ratio of the electronic gear to the linear encoder resolution with [Pr. PL02 Linear encoder resolution - Numerator] and
[Pr. PL03 Linear encoder resolution - Denominator].
■Parameter setting
Set the values that apply to the following equation.
[Pr. PL02 Linear encoder resolution - Numerator]
[Pr. PL03 Linear encoder resolution - Denominator]
■Parameter setting example
When the linear encoder resolution is 0.5 m
[Pr. PL02]
= Linear encoder resolution = 0.5 μm =
[Pr. PL03]
The following shows the simplified chart for the setting values of [Pr. PL02] and [Pr. PL03].

Magnetic pole detection

Set [Pr. PE47 Torque offset] to "0 (initial value)" before executing the magnetic pole detection.
Before the positioning operation of the linear servo motor, make sure to perform the magnetic pole detection. When [Pr. PL01]
is set to the initial value, perform the magnetic pole detection only at the first servo-on after the power is turned on.
The magnetic pole detection includes the following two methods. Each method has advantages and disadvantages. Select a
magnetic pole detection method suitable for your usage.
The position detection method is selected in the initial setting.
