2.8 ENCODER
There are three encoder models for the E Controller, MK32, M35 and M40, which differ by
installation method to the motor but share the same basic specifications. These electronic
multi-turn absolute encoders output 33 bits of data via serial communication. The 33 bits is the
sum of 17 bits of absolute angle position within one rotation by an optical encoder and 16 bits of
the number of rotations data read via counter counting magnetic pulse/rotation. The counter
data is backed up by a battery.
2. Communication
Position data is transmitted synchronizing with the data request signal from the servo board.
(Half duplex serial communications and baud rate: 4 Mbps)
4. Backup
By the backup of a built-in super capacitor, the rotation counter functions properly for 30
minutes after the 1FG/1HG board (encoder battery backup board) is disconnected.

The term “regeneration” here means as follows: When the robot decelerates, the motor
generates power by absorbing the inertia energy of the robot arm, and the power may cause
overvoltage between P-N of the motor. To prevent the overvoltage, current is set to distribute to
regenerative resistor from the MC unit/power unit/power supply unit when the P-N voltage
exceeds a rated value.

E Series Controller 4. Procedures for Replacement
Kawasaki Robot Troubleshooting Manual
This section describes the precautions to be taken when replacing parts due to trouble, etc.
This information is presented here for use as general precautions. In addition to these, adhere
the safety measures required for each replacement procedure.
! CAUTION
1. Read and understand thoroughly all manuals, specifications and related documents provided
by Kawasaki before operation.
2. Before entering the safety fence (safeguarded space), make sure all necessary safety
measures are prepared and functioning well.
3. Before starting replacement work, shut OFF controller power up to the external power
switch. Display signs indicating clearly “POWER CUT-OFF IN PROGRESS” or
“REPLACEMENT IN PROGRESS”, and lock out/tag out the external power switch to
prevent personnel from accidentally turning ON the power.
4. Before starting replacement work, secure enough space around the robot so there is no
danger of interference with peripheral systems. Shut down the peripheral systems
completely so they will not make any sudden motion.
5. Disable automatic operation functions when entering the safety fence. If the robot makes
any abnormal motion, press EMERGENCY STOP switch immediately, and evacuate on a
planned path of retreat.
6. In addition to the EMERGENCY STOP switch operated by the technician, install another
EMERGENCY STOP switch for the supervisor outside the safety fence, in a place where the
robot’s entire motion range can be monitored and the switch is accessible and easy for the
supervisor to press. If the robot moves abnormally during observation of the replacement,
press the EMERGENCY STOP switch immediately. After an emergency stop, reset and
restart robot operations from outside the fence. Moreover, monitoring duties are limited to
personnel who are trained and qualified.

8. When replacing printed boards, do not fail to turn OFF controller power. To replace servo
amplifier, MC unit/power unit, or AVR, wait at least seven minutes after controller power
OFF before disconnecting connectors. then confirm that output voltage from the DC power
supply and the P-N voltage are 0 V.
9. During operation, both technician and supervisor must always watch out for abnormal
motion and possible pinch points in and around the robot.
10. Semiconductors are often used in printed boards. Note that these semiconductors are
sensitive to static electricity, be sure to discharge any electrostatic on the body before
handling the printed boards.
11. Directly touching the parts containing semiconductors may cause electrostatic discharge
damage. When handling printed boards, do not touch the semiconductors directly but hold
the periphery of the printed boards. If parts must be touched directly, confirm that
electrostatic on the body has been discharged.
12. Putting printed boards directly onto the controller, etc. may cause electrostatic discharge
damage. Be sure to put them on an electrostatic-proof mat board or sheet, or enclose
printed boards in an electrostatic-proof bag.
13. Avoid removing printed boards at controller power ON, or turning the controller power ON
without any printed boards mounted.
14. Take a record of all data set currently on controller, printed boards, etc. so the system can be
restored to its normal operating condition.
15. To prevent position deviation of the robot, take a record of the robot’s pose before starting the
replacement procedure.
16. Be sure to connect connectors and cables correctly. When using connectors equipped with
locks, do not fail to lock after insertion. Do not touch connector pins.
17. Immediately after robot motion stop, the heat sink, the regenerative resistor, etc. may be very
hot. Do not touch the servo amplifier unit directly, there is a danger of burn.

18. Printed boards and servo amplifiers are designed differently for each robot model. Be sure
to replace the correct type.
19. When air or water is supplied, shut OFF the supply source and release any remaining
pressure from the lines before starting any replacement procedure.
20. Use lighting of 1500 lux or more to avoid mistakes when reading data or replacing defective
parts.
