Resetting an Absolute Encoder on the 9/260 and 9/920
Important: The following procedure is no necessary if you are using
distance--coded markers or a Stegmann feedback device.
At the control:
1. Move the axis that the absolute encoder is configured for in AMP to
the desired zero coordinate position for that axis.
2. Turn OFF the control and the main ac power switch.
ATTENTION: Never adjust the control unless the main AC
disconnect switch is open (off) and locked.
At the servo module:
1. Disconnect the battery that supplies battery backup to the absolute
encoder being reset.
2. Determine whether it is easier to disconnect and access connectors at
the servomotor or at the servo module.
If accessing connectors at the 8500 digital servo motor:
a. Remove the cable that is connected to the absolute encoder to be
reset.
b. At the encoder, use a jumper to short pin R to pin S of the
absolute encoder for at least 2 minutes.
