 The offset value is counted from the Motor Home position in the CW direction seen from the 
Motor output axis, regardless of the setting of parameter DI (Direction inversion).   
 The parameter AO is automatically set if the scale home position is defined in the following 
manners. . 
◊  Execution of the command AZ (Absolute zero position set) 
◊  Completion of Home Return   
P    AQ: Absolute Positioning, User Scale 
 Executes a optioning to the target position.   
The target position is specified in the units of parameter QR (Dividing number, user scale).   
◊  Refer to “6.3.1. Positioning Command” and “8.6.4. User Scale Positioning” for details.

Conditions to 
be met 
•  The Motor servo is on.   
•  Not in the middle of operation caused by an internal command (positioning command, 
jogging and Home Return).   
•  The Motor is not stopping because of alarm or warning   
•  The input STP (Stop) is not activated. 
 In the shorter way positioning, the Motor moves in the following direction.   
◊  In the shorter direction to the target position. 
◊  When an off-limits area is specified by the parameters OTP and OTM (Software over 
travel limit), the Motor rotes in the direction not to gets in the area, regardless of 
moving distance.   
 The monitor TQ (Tell position, QR unit) reads out the position in units of user position scale.
