Precautions during control
■Absolute position system(ABS)/Incremental system (INC)
ABS/INC setting is set on the VC series/VPH series side.
■Home position return
• Home position return operation types
The home position return methods that can be used in VC series/VPH series are shown below.
: Possible, : Not possible
*1 Minor error (error code: 1979H) occurs, and home position return is not performed.
• Dogless home position signal reference method
When performing "dogless home position signal reference method" in VC series/VPH series, the home position, home
position return operation, and home position return data (home position return retry function, dwell time at the home
position return retry) is the following. Also, set the VC series/VPH series parameter "Select function for SSCNET on
communicate mode (P612) (Condition selection of home position set)" as follows.
*1 Refer to the following for home position return operation.

When control units are degree axis and the stroke limit is valid, a minor error (error code: 1A18H) occurs
when the following positioning controls are started.
• Instructions for pass point absolute specifications in continuous trajectory control (CPSTART instruction)
(linear interpolation, circular interpolation, helical interpolation)
• Position follow-up control (PFSTART instruction)
