Absolute Position Restoration Function

Absolute position restoration function restores the absolute position of the specified axis using the absolute position detection
system. When this function is used, the OPR after power off due to an instantaneous power failure and emergency stop is not
required, and the restoration operation at site can be performed easily.
Precautions
An absolute position restoration by the positioning function may turn off Servo ON signal (servo off) for approximately 60 ms +
scan time, and the motor may run unexpectedly. If this causes a problem, provide an electromagnetic brake to lock the motor
during absolute position restoration.

Description
• Use a Mitsubishi General-Purpose AC Servo which has an absolute position detection function (absolute position
data transfer protocol) equivalent to that of MR-J4-A.
• Install the battery to the servo amplifier.
• Validate the absolute position detection function of the servo amplifier.
For details, refer to the manual for the servo amplifier used.
• Use a servomotor with absolute position detector.
For details, refer to the manual for the servo motor used.
• Add a battery power connection cable (BAT/LG signal) to the incremental encoder cable connection.
For details, refer to the manual for the cable used.
• Establish the communications of absolute position detection data using a CPU module or I/O modules (three input
points /three output points).
• Use CPU modules and I/O modules with any number of points.
• Allocating the three input signals in serial order facilitates the control with a program. This also applies to the three
output signals.
