6.1.2.
Robot Parameter Setting
After the installation of Q173DPX module and connection with the encoder are complete, use the following steps to
establish robot CPU parameters.
(1) Set a parameter TRMODE to 1, validate a function of tracking.
(2) Specify the channel to which the encoder is connected using a parameter EXTENC.
(3) In the case of Q type, Using parameter ENCUNT* (*=1 to 3), designate the slot in which Q173DPX module
under the control of robot CPU is installed.
(4) Reset a power supply and reflect a parameter.

In the case of Q type, it is convenient to check the
status variable "M_Enc" when determining the
setting value of the "EXTENC" parameter.
In the case of D type, The value of the encoder
which wired the channel 1 in case of the standard
encoder input connector [CNENC] for the robot
controller is equipped with the encoder cable with
initial setting, The value of the encoder which wired
the channel 2 by the status variable "M_Enc (1)",
"M_Enc (3)", "M_Enc (5)", and "M_Enc (7)",It can
confirm by the status variable "M_Enc (2)", "M_Enc
(4)", "M_Enc (6)", and "M_Enc (8)."
Please refer to "10.1.2 List of Robot Status
Variables" for the explanation of state variable
"M_Enc".
Please refer to "Detailed Explanations of Functions
and Operations" for how to check the status variable.
