Position Data Reading Setting(1) Function setting switch listThe following two position data reading formats are available:1) Latch pulse (LP) format…Reads position data which is updated regularly in synchronization with a latchpulse output signal from the converter.2) HOLD (HD) format…Reads position data while position data updates are stopped by a HOLD input signal.When the LP output signal reading format is used, a position data update period (cycle) can be selectedwhich is appropriate for the host controller being used.When the HD input signal reading format is used, either a transparent format or a PC synchro format canbe selected.The desired position data reading format can be specified by the DIP switches on the rear face of theconverter. The DIP switch settings are shown below.Refer to the page 23.Refer to the page 23.Refer to the page 24.Refer to the page 24.Refer to the page 24.Refer to the page 24.Refer to the page 24.Refer to the page 24.Refer to the page 25.Refer to the page 25.Important Cautions when using the function setting switches-Always verify the function setting switch settings before beginning operation.-Never use function switch settings which are not indicated in the specifications.-Do not change function switch settings during operation, as this could result in injury.23
