4. OPERATION
4.4.8 Count type front end reference home position return
POINT
This home position return method depends on the timing of reading
Proximity dog (DOG) that has detected the front end of a proximity dog.
Hence, if a home position return is made at the creep speed of 100r/min, an
error of 200 pulses will occur in the home position. The error of the home
position is larger as the creep speed is higher.
The position where the axis, which had started decelerating at the front end of a proximity dog, has
moved the after-proximity dog moving distance and home position shift distance is defined as a home
position. A home position return that does not depend on the Z-phase signal can be made. The home
position may change if the creep speed varies.
