[Home Return Operation of Slider Type/Rod Type Actuator]
1) With the HOME signal being ON, the actuator moves toward the mechanical end at the
home return speed.
The moving speed is 20mm/s for most actuators but less than 20mm/s for some actuators.
2) The actuator is turned at the mechanical end and stopped at the home position. The moving
distance is the value set by Parameter No.22 “Home return offset level”.
Caution
● In the home reverse specification, the actuator moves in the reverse direction.
● Make sure to refer to [6.1.2 [16]] when a change to Parameter No.22
“Home return offset level” is required.

[Home Return Operation of Rotary Actuator]
(1) 330° Rotation Specification
1) When home return is commanded, the rotary part rotates in the CCW (counterclockwise)
direction as seen from the load side.
The speed is 20deg/s.
2) Detects mechanical stopper.
3) It travels in reverse.
4) Moves from the position of 3), for the amount set in Parameter No. 22 “Homing Offset” and
stops.
5) The position stopped in 4), should be the home position.
Caution
● In the home reverse specification, the actuator moves in the reverse direction.
● Make sure to refer to [6.1.2 [16]] when a change to Parameter No.22
“Home return offset level” is required.
