[5] Matching the mechanical origin on an absolute system
The origin on an absolute system becomes the origin of the absolute value encoder. When there
exists a mechanical origin on a workpiece, the origin can be matched by the following procedure.
Set parameters 1 and 2 so that zero return can be performed in an absolute system. At this
time, set the origin compensation data to "0". After finishing setting, block transfer the
settings and save the block data (save to flash ROM).
Perform a zero return. (Stop program operation at the mechanical origin on the workpiece.)
Turn the absolute present position read relay ON to read the present position of the absolute
value encoder.
Set the value of the present position that is read as it is to the origin compensation data of
parameter 1. After finishing setting, block transfer the settings and save the block data (save
to flash ROM).
Turn the absolute present position read relay ON to read the present position of the absolute
value encoder. (At this time, setting is completed if the present value is "0".)
