4.2 How to Execute Absolute Reset (Absolute Specification)
Note) With the absolute specification, 0E5 (an encoder receive error) will occur when the power is turned on for
the first time after the battery or PG cable was disconnected. This does not indicate fault. If this error
occurs, execute an absolute reset by following the specified procedure.
The specific method to execute an absolute reset will vary depending on the controller version.
A label on which a serial number is printed is attached on the right side of the controller.
In the serial number, check the alphabet in the second digit from the last.
Example) SERIAL No. AD251031 J3
In this example, the controller version is “J.”
An absolute reset is executed in different ways on controllers of version J* or earlier (A* to J*) and controllers of
version K* or later (K*, L*, etc.) (* indicates a number).
(If the controller version is K* or later, perform home return from the teaching pendant or PC software when
executing an absolute reset.)
How to Execute an Absolute Reset on a SERIAL No. K* or Later
[1] Connect the motor cable and encoder/brake cables to the controller.
[2] Connect the host PLC to the PIO connector using the supplied flat cable.
[3] If two or more axes are connected using a controller link cable, set the address using the piano switches
(SW) on the controller. For details, refer to 2.2, “Names and Functions of Parts,” in this manual.
[4] Connect the battery to the controller.
[5] Turn ON piano switch (SW) No. 5 (fifth from the bottom) on the controller (by tilting it to the right).
[6] Turn on the main controller power.
[7] The ALM LED will illuminate.
[8] Turn ON the pause and servo ON input signals at the PIO connector.
[9] Input a reset signal via the PIO connector to reset the alarm.
[10] Perform home return from the teaching pendant or PC software.
[11] Turn switch No. 1 of the controller’s piano switches 2 (SW2) to OFF (tilt to the left).
An absolute reset has been executed.
