6.8.7
Alarm Output from Output Ports for the Position Data
from the Absolute Encoder
Any alarm detected by the SERVOPACK is transmitted as alarm information to the host control-
ler with the PAO (Encoder Divided Pulse Output) signal when the SENS_ON (Turn ON Sensor)
command turns OFF.
The data format of the alarm information is shown below.

PM = PE - PS
PE = -M × R + PO
PS = MS × R + PS
PM = PE - PS
PE = -M × R - PO
PS = MS × R - PS’
1. If you are using a Rotary Servomotor, you must reset the absolute encoder. Refer to the fol-
lowing section for information on resetting the absolute encoder.
Resetting the Absolute Encoder
2. You can set the origin to a different position from the reset position. Refer to the following sec-
tion for information on the origin position offset.
