10-2-4 Absolute Encoder Setup
You must set up the absolute encoder if you use a motor with an absolute encoder. The setup is
required when you turn ON the power supply for the first time.
When you use an absolute encoder, set the Encoder – Operation Selection when Using Absolute
Encoder (4510-01 hex). Set this object to 0 or 2 (default setting) when you use the encoder as the
absolute encoder.
Set this object to 1 when you use the encoder as the incremental encoder.
Set up the absolute encoder while the Servo is OFF.
Be sure to execute the Unit Restart or cycle the power supply after you finish the setup.
For information on setup using the Sysmac Studio, refer to the Sysmac Studio Drive Functions
Operation Manual (Cat. No. I589) and Setting Up an Absolute Encoder from the Sysmac Studio
described below.
1 Start the Sysmac Studio and go online with the Servo Drive via EtherCAT or USB communica-
tions.
2 In the Sysmac Studio, right-click the target Servo Drive under Configurations and Setup, and
select Motor and Encoder.
3 Click the Clear system button in the Encoder Properties pane.
An Absolute Value Cleared (Error No. 27.01) error will occur after execution is completed.
4 Execute the Unit Restart or turn the control power supply to the Servo Drive OFF and then ON
again.
