6.30 Mark detection
6.30.1 Summary
Mark detection is a function that gets the positioning data at the timing of when a mark detection signal is input
to the servo amplifier, and outputs to the dual port memory. This function is compatible with SSCNET
/H
communication method only.

Positioning data
Mark detection signal
(external signal)
Three methods for mark detection modes can be selected.
• Continuous detection mode
• Specified number of detection mode
• Ring buffer mode
Additionally, the range of the mark detection positioning data can be specified, so only data within the specified
range is latched.
When interrupt conditions 2 (parameter No.0205) is enabled and mark detection signal is detected, an interrupt
can be generated. However, when not using the interrupt, or in interface mode, the mark detection counter
must be monitored at all times.
