6.2.6 Zone Signal Output
A signal will be output when the actuator enters the specified zone.
The zone signal will turn ON when the actuator enters the zone predefined by the applicable parameters.
(The zone can be set arbitrarily.)
If parameter No. 25 is set to “3: [2 zone output signals],” two zone output signals can be set. The second
zone value is set by parameter No. 23 (Zone 2+) and No. 24 (Zone 2-).
Note) The zone signal output function is not available if parameter No. 25 (PIO pattern) is set to “2: [64-
point positioning]” or “4: [Teaching].”
6.2.7 Home Return
(1) On the standard controller, home return must be executed after the power is turned on to establish
the home.
(2) On the absolute controller, home return is not required when the power is turned on. This is because
once home return is executed, the current position will be retained even after the power is turned off.
On the absolute controller, home return is required only after the controller is started for the first time
or when the current position has been lost due to low battery voltage, etc.
There are two ways to execute home return.
z Not using the dedicated input (PIO pattern = “0: [Conventional]”)
If home return has not been executed yet, inputting a command position followed by the start signal will
execute home return.
z Using the dedicated input (PIO pattern ≠ “0: [Conventional]”)
Inputting the home return signal (HOME) will execute home return regardless of whether the home
position has already been established or nor.
