8.1.3 Data-set type mechanical zero return
Use the data-set type mechanical zero return procedure to set the position moved by JOG or manual pulse
generator operation, as a zero-point. Therefore the work piece does not travel at the mechanical zero return
command.
This zero return procedure is frequently used for equipment without a DOG, or for transfer lines without a
mechanical zero-point.
→ For the zero return interlock function, refer to Subsection 7.9.10
→ For details on the table operation, refer to Chapter 10
→ For the parameters, control data and monitor data, refer to Chapter 11
Operation
1) With JOG or manual pulse generator operation, the work piece is moved to the desired zero-point.
→ For jog operation, refer to Section 8.2
→ For manual pulse generator operation, refer to Section 8.3
2) Turn ON the mechanical zero return command.
3) The current address is set as the mechanical zero-point address in the positioning parameters.
4) The 20SSC-H turns the zero return complete flag to ON.
In the data-set type mechanical zero return mode, the positioning completion flag does not turn ON.
→ For the parameters, control data and monitor data, refer to Chapter 11
Note
• The zero return command is not accepted if the zero-point pass signal servo status is OFF.
Before executing zero return, be sure to rotate the servomotor at least once to turn the zero-point pass
signal ON. The zero-point pass signal turns ON when the motor passes the motor reference position signal
(Z-phase).
To execute zero return immediately after power-on, specify "1: Motor Z-phase pass unnecessary after
power-on" (default setting) at servo parameter function selection C-4. With this setting, the zero-point pass
signal turns ON even if the motor does not pass the zero-point (Z-phase).
• With the simultaneous start flag ON, the X-axis mechanical zero return command simultaneously starts the
X and Y-axes mechanical zero return operation.
(The 20SSC-H ignores the Y-axis mechanical zero return command.)
