8.2 Setting the Second Home Position (Check Point)
8.2.1

Purpose of Position Check Operation

If the absolute number of rotation detected at power supply ON does not match the data
stored in the absolute encoder the last time the power supply was turned OFF, an alarm is
issued when the controller power is turned ON.
There are two possible causes of this alarm:
• Error in the PG system
• The manipulator was moved after the power supply was turned OFF.
If there is an error with the PG system, the manipulator may stall when playback is started. If
the absolute data allowable range error alarm has occurred, playback and test runs will not
function and the position must be checked.
"OUT OF RANGE (ABSO DATA)" alarm occurs
