1.3 ABSOLUTE ROTARY ENCODER SYSTEM
This section explains a system in which an absolute rotary encoder is
sed. u
1.3.1 Example of Configuration
When an absolute rotary encoder is used, the absolute position is
always determined. For this reason, High Resolution Serial Output
Circuit is not required, which are required for an incremental rotary
encoder system. Consequently, the system configuration can be made
simple.
n example of a typical system configuration is shown below: A
1.3.2 Applicable absolute rotary encoder
An absolute rotary encoder to be used for the FANUC
SYNCHRONOUS BUILT-IN SERVO MOTOR Dis series must
conform to the FANUC serial interface. If not, the absolute rotary
encoder cannot be used.
At present, for the FANUC SYNCHRONOUS BUILT-IN SERVO
MOTOR Dis series, HEIDENHAIN and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
(MHI) offer their absolute encoders. Contact them for detail
nformation, if required. i
NOTE
1 Rotary encoder manufacturers are responsible for the specifications,
performance, guarantee, and other items of their rotary encoders.
For details, contact the relevant manufacturer.
2 When HRV4 is applied, the rotary encoder must support 2 Mbps
communication. For support conditions, contact the relevant
manufacturer.
