6.12.1 Connecting an Absolute Encoder
The following diagram shows the typical connections between a Servomotor with an absolute encoder,
the SERVOPACK, and the host controller.

*1. The absolute encoder pin numbers for wiring the connector depend on the Servomotor that you use.
*2.
*3. If you use an Encoder Cable with a Battery Case, do not install a battery at the host controller.
Refer to the following section for details on the typical connections.

6.12.2 Structure of the Position Data of the Absolute Encoder
The position data of the absolute encoder is the position coordinate from the origin of the absolute
encoder.
The position data from the absolute encoder contains the following two items.
•
The number of rotations from the origin of the encoder coordinate system (called the multiturn data)
•
The position (number of pulses) within one rotation
The position data of the absolute encoder is as follows:
Position data of absolute encoder = Multiturn data
(setting of Pn212)+ Position (number of pulses) within one rotation.
For a single-turn absolute encoder, the multiturn data is 0.
