Absolute Encoders

The absolute encoder records the current position of the stop position even when the power supply is
OFF.
With a system that uses an absolute encoder, the host controller can monitor the current position.
Therefore, it is not necessary to perform an origin return operation when the power supply to the sys-
tem is turned ON.
There are three types of encoders for Rotary Servomotors. The usage of the encoder is specified in
Pn002 = n.
Refer to the following section for encoder models.

Connecting an Absolute Encoder

You can get the position data from the absolute encoder with MECHATROLINK communications.
Therefore, it is not necessary to wire the PAO, PBO, and PCO (Encoder Divided Pulse Output) signals.
If they need to be wired, refer to the following section.


Install a battery at either the host controller or on the Encoder Cable.
If you install batteries both at the host controller and on the Encoder Cable at the same time, you
will create a loop circuit between the batteries, resulting in a risk of damage or burning.
