12. ABSOLUTE POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM
12. ABSOLUTE POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM
CAUTION
12.1 Features
For normal operation, as shown below, the encoder consists of a detector designed to detect a position within
one revolution and a cumulative revolution counter designed to detect the number of revolutions.
The absolute position detection system always detects the absolute position of the machine and keeps it

battery-backed, independently of whether the servo system controller power is on or off.
Therefore, once home position return is made at the time of machine installation, home position return is not
needed when power is switched on thereafter.
If a power failure or a fault occurs, restoration is easy.

If an absolute position erase alarm (25) or absoluto position counter warning (E3)
has occurred, always perform home position setting again. Not doing so can cause
runaway.
