The following section provides details for each type of position feedback.
R/D Converter: If Ix10 contains a value from $0000xx to $0700xx, or from $8000xx to
$8700xx, Motor x will expect its absolute power-on position from an ACC-8D Opt. 7 R/D
converter board. The low 8 bits (last 2 hex digits) of Ix10 should contain the address of the
board on the multiplexer port, as set by the DIP switches on the board.
The first hex digit of Ix10, which can take a value of 0 or 8 in this mode, specifies whether the
position is interpreted as an unsigned value (1
st
digit = 0) or as a signed value (1
st
digit = 8).
The second hex digit of Ix10, which can take a value from 0 to 7 in this mode, specifies the
number of the individual R/D converter at that multiplexer port address. The following table
shows the Ix10 values for this mode and the R/D converter each specifies at the ‘xx’
multiplexer-port address:

*If ‘xx’ is ‘00’, the fourth hex digit should be set to 1(making Ix10=$000100);
otherwise no absolute position will be read because Ix10=0.
If I9x is set greater than 0, the next higher numbered R/D converter at the same multiplexer
port address is also read and treated as a geared-down resolver, with I9x specifying the gear
ratio. I8x is also set greater than 0, the following R/D converter at the same multiplexer port
address is read and treated as a third resolver geared down from the second, with I8x
specifying that gear ratio.
The following table shows the values of Ix10 for the multiplexer port addresses for the ACC-
8D Opt. 7 that can be used:

‘n’ is a digit from 0 to 7 specifying the converter number at that address
* If ‘n’ is 0 and the multiplexer address is 0, the 4
th
hex digit should be set to 1, making
Ix10=$000100; otherwise with Ix10=0, no absolute position would be read.
