Maintenance and inspection If the alarm occurs again, there may be an error in the encoder communication related components. Check the components. After adjusting the erroneous axis, calibrate the home position of the axis and then check the position again. NOTICE Home position calibration of all the axes at the same time enables playback operations without having to check the position.
Maintenance and inspection 9.7.2 Procedure for the second home position setting Apart from the “home position” of the robot, the second home position can be set up as a check point for absolute data. Use the following steps to set the specified point. NOTICE If 2 or more Robots or stations are controlled by one controller, the second home position must be set for each robot or station.

Maintenance and inspection If the „OUT OF RANGE (ABSO DATA)“ alarm occurs, • Reset the alarm. • the SERVO power ON. Then confirm the second home position. After the confirmation, if the PG system is found to be the cause of the alarm, perform the necessary operation, such as replacing the PG system, etc.
Maintenance and inspection Zeroing Function (Optional) The zero setting function (optional function) enables the automatic recovery of the robot’s initial data in case they get lost. This function is possible only on robots which are delivered with this option. The robot control memorizes the initial position of the robot on the basis of the pulse value of each encoder axis.
