PERIODIC MAINTENANCE OF
BATTERY FOR THE ABSOLUTE
PULSECODER
B-65285E/03-01
FANUC LTD
- If a low battery voltage or a battery voltage of 0 V is indicated by an APC (absolute
Pulsecoder) alarm, replace the battery (A06B-6114-K0504).
If a battery voltage of 0 V is indicated, you need to make a zero point return.
- The absolute Pulsecoder of the αis/αi series servo motor is incorporated with a
backup capacitor as standard. This backup capacitor enables an absolute position
detection to be continued for about 10 minutes. Therefore, no zero point return need
be performed if the time during which servo amplifier power is kept off for battery
replacement is within 10 minutes.
On the contrary, the absolute Pulsecoder of the standard α series servo motor is not
incorporated with a backup capacitor. Be careful when replacing the battery for this
Pulsecoder. See [Caution No. 1 for battery replacement] at the end of this section for
details.
- The service life of the batteries is about one year with αis/αi series servo motors and
half a year with α series servo motors if they are used in three-axes SVM.
FANUC recommends that you replace the batteries periodically according to the
battery service life.
- The built-in batteries are not commercially available. They must be purchased from
FANUC. So, FANUC recommends that you keep spares.
WARNING
1 When using the built-in batteries (A06B-6114-K504), do not
connect them to the BATL (B3) of connector CXA2A/CXA2B.
The output voltages from different SVM batteries may be
short-circuited, resulting in the batteries becoming very hot.
2 Do not connect more than one battery to the same BATL (B3) line.
If the output voltage is different between the batteries, they may be
short-circuited, resulting in the batteries becoming very hot.
3 Install the battery with correct polarity. If the battery is installed with
incorrect polarity, it may overheat, blow out, or catch fire.
