Absolute Encoders - YASKAWA E-II Series User Manual

8 Operation

8.4 Absolute Encoders

• The output range of multiturn data for the Σ-II series absolute detection system differs from that for conven-
tional systems (15-bit encoder and 12-bit encoder). When an infinite length positioning system of the con-
ventional type is to be configured with the Σ-II series, be sure to make the following system modification.
If a motor with an absolute encoder is used, a system to detect the absolute position can be made in the host con-
troller. Consequently, operation can be performed without zero point return operation immediately after the
power is turned ON.

WARNING
Action when Limit Is Exceeded
• When the upper limit (+99999) is exceeded in the forward direc-
tion, the multiturn data is 0.
• When the lower limit (-99999) is exceeded in the reverse direc-
tion, the multiturn data is 0.
• When the upper limit (+32767) is exceeded in the forward direc-
tion, the multiturn data is -32768.*
• When the lower limit (-32768) is exceeded in the reverse direc-
tion, the multiturn data is +32767.*
