7.8 Homing Description of PR Mode 
The purpose of homing is to connect the Z pulse position of motor encoder to the internal 
coordinate of the servo drive. The coordinate value corresponded by Z pulse can be specified.  
After homing is completed, the stopped position will not be the Z pulse. It is because it has to 
decelerate to stop when finding the Z pulse. It might therefore exceed a bit. However, since the 
position of Z pulse has correctly setup, it would not influence the accuracy of positioning. For 
example, when specifying the coordinate value corresponded by Z pulse is 100 and it is Cmd_O = 
300 after homing, it means the deceleration distance is 300 – 100 = 200 (PUU). Since Cmd_E = 
100 (Z’s absolute coordinate), if desire to return to Z pulse position, issuing the positioning 
command will do, absolute 100 command or incremental 0 command.  
After homing is completed, it will execute the specified PR automatically, which can move a 
distance of offset after homing. 
When it is executing homing, software limit is disabled.
