12.6 Absolute position restoration function
CAUTION
When absolute position restoration is performed, the servo ON signal may turn OFF
(the servo may switch off) for about 20ms, starting the motor. If any inconvenience
may be caused by the start of the motor when the servo ON signal turns OFF, provide
an electromagnetic brake separately to lock the motor with the electromagnetic brake
during absolute position restoration.
The "absolute position restoration function" is designed to restore the absolute position
of the specified axis. This function eliminates the need for a zero point return after
power-off, such as an instantaneous power failure or emergency stop, ensuring ease
of on-site restoration work.
The following details of the "absolute position restoration function" will be explained.
