  • Page 34: Start-Up And Operation

    INFORMATION With the F-712.HA1 and F-712.HA2 systems, all axes are equipped with incremental sensors. With incremental sensors, the encoder signals used for position feedback provide only relative motion information. Hence the controller cannot know the absolute position of an axis upon startup.
