5.6 Manual home position return mode
5.6.1 Outline of home position return
Home position return is performed to match the com mand coordinates with the machine coordinates. In the
incremental system, home position return is re quired every time input power is switched on. In the absolute
position detection system, once home position r eturn is done at the time of installation, the current position is
retained if power is switched off. Hence, h ome position return is not required when po wer is switched on again.
This servo amplifier has the home position re turn methods given in this section. Choose the most appr opriate
method for your machine structure and applic ation.
This servo amplifier has the home positi on return automatic return function which executes home position
return by making an automatic return to a proper position if the machine has stopped beyond or at the
proximity dog. Manual motion by jog operat ion or the like is not required.
