AIN3: Torque Monitor Value
Analog input 3 contains the Torque Monitor Value from the Servo Driver.

Absolute Encoder
If the Servo Driver uses a Servomotor with an absolute encoder, the MC Unit
will obtain the absolute encoder position each start-up.
As a result, operation can be performed immediately without any origin search
operation at start-up. Use one of the following Servomotors with absolute
encoder.
A backup battery is required when using an absolute encoder. Install the bat-
tery into the Servo Driver’s battery holder.
■
Setting up the encoder
Set-up the use of the absolute encoder by performing the following setting.
■
Multi-turn limit setting
If an absolute encoder is used, the counter counts the number of rotations
from the setup position and output the number of rotations from the Servo
Driver to the MC Unit. For some applications it is convenient to reset the multi-
turn data back to 0 after a certain amount of turns.
