4) The output BUSY (In-operation) is closed during Home Return operation. The home position is
in a state of undefined, thus the System forcibly opens the output HCMP (Home position
defined).
5) The Motor decelerates and stops when the input OTM changes to OFF form ON (because of
minus logic set on the shipping set), then gets out the limit sensor area with velocity set by the
HZ (Home return near-zero velocity).
6) The Motor rotates to the position at the first phase Z signal after passing the limit sensor area.
Then rotates further to the position set by the parameter HO (Home position offset) to define the
home position. At this time the output HCMP closes.
Set the parameter value of HO to minus (HO < 0).
7) When the Motor settles at the home position, the outputs IPOS (In-position) and HOME (Home
Return complete) close, thus completing the operation.
If the Home Return operation is interrupted, the System cannot define the home position. Entering of the
command for an absolute positioning at this state will cause the warning A5 (Origin undefined).
You can program the command HS in a program channel. This will make you possible to start the Home
Return operation with the inputs RUN (Start program) and PRG (Internal program channel selection).
The pattern of Home Return operation depends on its starting point as illustrated below.

When the Motor reverses its motion by the parameter HD, the CW and CCW
(CW←→CCW), and OTP and OTM (OTP←→OTM) respectively switch
positions with each other .
