(4) Home position return by the dogless home position signal reference
method (Operation C)
"Operation C" of a home position return by the dogless home position signal
reference method is shown in Fig. 6.48 and Fig. 6.49.
(a) When the position where address of absolute linear encoder becomes 0 is in
the home position return direction.
1) It travels to preset direction of home
position return with the creep speed.
2) The home position return ends the
position where address of absolute
linear encoder becomes 0.
