In absolute type (WA), make sure to conduct the absolute reset when the absolute data was lost or after the
robot is dismantled to replace the motor and so on.
Caution:

There may be a risk of robot malfunction or critical operational error such as crash
to the stopper or unavailability of expected operation if the absolute reset is not
conducted after the motor is replaced and robot is dismantled.

There may be a case that the indicated coordinates for positioning point cannot be
achieved before and after the absolute reset is conducted.
1) Make sure to have a backup of the parameters before conducting. Select [Parameter] → [Edit] from
the menu in the PC software to show the parameter edit window. Press “Save As” button in the
parameter edit window to save the parameters to file data.
