5.4.3 Count type home position return 
For the count type home position return, after the front end of the 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. Use the count type home position return 
when you cannot use the dog type home position return because the length of the proximity dog cannot be 
reserved, when you input DOG (Proximity dog) electrically from the controller, or other cases. 
 
(1) Device/parameter 
Set input devices and parameters as follows: 
 
Item  Device/parameter to be used  Setting 
Automatic operation mode of 
the program method 
MD0 (Operation mode selection 1)  Switch on MD0. 
Count type home position 
return 
[Pr. PT04] 
_ _ _ 1: Select the count type (front end detection 
Z-phase reference). 
Home position return 
direction 
[Pr. PT04] 
Refer to section 5.4.1 (2) to select the home 
position return direction. 
Dog input polarity  [Pr. PT29] 
Refer to section 5.4.1 (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 the proximity dog is passed, 
the position is shifted by the travel distance and 
then is specified by the first Z-phase signal. Set 
this 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 of 
home position return 
[Pr. PC30] 
The acceleration time constant set for [Pr. PC30] 
is used. 
Deceleration time constant of 
home position return 
[Pr. PC31] 
The deceleration time constant set for [Pr. PC31] 
is used. 
Home position return position 
data 
[Pr. PT08] 
Set the current position when the home position 
return completed. 
Program 
DI0 (Program No. selection 1) to 
DI3 (Program No. selection 4) 
Select a program containing a "ZRT" command, 
which performs the home position return.
