4. HOW TO USE THE POINT TABLE 
4 -  51 
 
4.4.3 Count type home position return 
For the count type home position return, after the front end of a proximity dog is detected, the position is 
shifted by the distance set in [Pr. PT09 Travel distance after proximity dog]. Then, the position specified by 
the first Z-phase signal is used as the home position. Therefore, when the on-time of DOG (Proximity dog) is 
10 ms or more, the length of the proximity dog has no restrictions. When the required proximity dog length 
for using the dog type home position return cannot be reserved, or when DOG (Proximity dog) is entered 
electrically from the controller or the like, use the count type home position return. 
 
(1) Device/parameter 
Set input devices and parameters as follows. 
 
Item  Device/parameter to be used  Setting 
Home position return mode 
selection 
MD0 (Operation mode selection 1)  Switch on MD0. 
DI0 (Point table No. selection 1) to 
DI4 (Point table No. selection 5) 
Switch off DI0 to DI4. 
Count type home position 
return 
[Pr. PT04]  _ _ _ 0: Select the count type. 
Home position return 
direction 
[Pr. PT04] 
Refer to section 4.4.1 (2) to select the home 
position return direction. 
Dog input polarity  [Pr. PT29] 
Refer to section 4.4.1 (2) to select the dog 
input polarity. 
Home position return speed  [Pr. PT05] 
Set the rotation speed specified until a dog is 
detected. 
Creep speed  [Pr. PT06] 
Set the rotation speed specified after a dog is 
detected. 
Home position shift distance  [Pr. PT07] 
After the front end of a proximity dog is 
passed, the position is shifted by the travel 
distance and then is specified by the first Z-
phase signal. Set this item to shift the position 
of the first Z-phase signal. 
Travel distance after proximity 
dog 
[Pr. PT09] 
Set the travel distance specified after the front 
end of the proximity dog is passed. 
Acceleration time 
constant/Deceleration time 
constant 
Point table No. 1 
The acceleration/deceleration time constant 
of point table No. 1 is used. 
Home position return position 
data 
[Pr. PT08] 
Set the current position at the home position 
return completion.
