X_ Y_ Z_ A_ B_ C_ U_ V_ W_ S_: Coordinate of waypoint of each axis to be homed
It is the command to automatically return the axis to the machine reference point. When the G28 command is
encountered during the program execution, each axis is moved to the machine origin at the rapid traverse rate. At
this time, it stops by the commanded position of each axis on the way.

The axes without receiving the auto-homing command do not move.
The incremental commands are available for axis positioning.
If the axis position command is "0", it returns directly to the machine origin without dropping by waypoints.
