The t1 timing time could be delayed by the following factors.
1) Presence of FROM/TO command execution during start process
2) Operation state of other axes
3) Presence of intervention from peripheral device during start process
4) Details of positioning data to be started
Operating restrictions
(1) When the zero point return complete flag (
Md.40
Status: b3) is ON, executing
a high-speed zero point return start will result in an error "zero point return
request ON" (error code: 207)".
(2) When the absolute position restoration mode is the "infinite length mode", an
error "outside start number range" (error code: 543) occurs at a high-speed
zero point return start.
