9-1 Performing Return-to-Origin

9-1 Performing Return-to-Origin

The stroke-end detection is used as the origin (reference point) detection method.

The following explains the procedure to perform return-to-origin using the stroke-end detection.

The magnetic pole is detected simultaneously with return-to-origin operation. Each time the power is turned on, return-to-origin becomes incomplete. Always perform return-to-origin after turning on the power to the controller, before starting operation. Return-to-origin also becomes incomplete after a parameter related to the origin position is changed. Return-to-origin must also be reperformed in that case.
