8.5.5 Home position return by the count type 2 
[Control details] 
(1)   Count type 2 
After the proximity dog ON, the position which traveled the specified distance 
(travel value after proximity dog ON) is home position in this method. 
It is not related for zero point pass or not pass. 
A count type 2 is effective method when a zero point signal cannot be taken. 
(However, dispersions will occur to the stop position at the home position return 
compared with the count type 1.) 
The travel value after proximity dog ON is set in the home position return data 
(Refer to Section 8.5.1). 
 
(2)   Home position return by the count type 2 
Operation of home position return by count type 2 is shown below.

The travel value in this range is stored in the 
monitor register "travel value after proximity 
dog ON".
(Note): "Home position return re-travel value" = 0
(Note): After the proximity dog ON, a position  
            which traveled the distance " travel 
            value after proximity dog ON" of the 
            home position return data is home 
            position.

(3)   Home position return execution 
Home position return by the count type 2 is executed using the CHGA instruction 
in Section 8.5.16. 
When the home position return request is ON, the count type 2 home position 
return is also made even G28 of the Motion program.
