8.8. Home Return
The PS series Megatorque Motor incorporates an absolute position sensor and holds the home
position even the power is turned off. Thus, the Home Return operation is not necessary in
normal operation. However, you can execute the Home Return operation triggered by an external
sensor, when your machine system requires it.
The Home Return operation is to move the Motor to the home position, which is inputted to the
Driver Unit by the signal of home position limit or by the signal of travel limit switch, and to
define the position as the origin of position scale system.
◊ Teaching of the home position sets any position as the home position without inputting
the signal of limit switch.
The table in the next page lists commands and parameters exclusively used for the Home Return
operation. Refer to “9. Details of Commands and Parameters” for more details.
◊ The functions of control inputs and outputs related to the Home Return operation are
not set in the shipping set of the connector CN2 (Control input/output connector). Set
the required functions to the signal ports.
◊ Refer to “8.1. Assignment of Input/Output Function” for setting of control input/output.
