<div class="markdown_content"><p>I am looking to read in the absolute position of a yaskawa servo drive Sigma 7 that is using absolute encoder.</p> <p>It looks like yaskawa outputs this across there CN1 I/O connecter and during operation just outputs encoder pulses. But at boot up transmits the Multiturn data position and the Position within one rotation (pulse train) on two different wires.</p> <p>Once the drives are enabled it just uses incremental pulses.<br/> Does any one have experience with what IEC blocks to use to read this information in.<br/> I attached the Yaskawa Manual section that talks about the format.</p></div>
