16.7.2 Dog type home position return
This home position return type uses a proximity dog. Deceleration starts at the proximity dog front end. After
the rear end is passed, the position specified by the first Z-phase signal, or the position of the first Z-phase
signal shifted by the specified home position shift distance is used as the home position.
(1) Device/parameter

Home position return
direction
Refer to section 4.4.1 (2) to select the home
position return direction.
Refer to section 4.4.1 (2) to select the
proximity dog input polarity.
Home position return speed
Set the rotation speed until the dog is
detected.
Set the rotation speed after the dog is
detected.
Home position shift distance
Set this item to shift the home position
specified by the first Z-phase signal after
passage of proximity dog rear end.
Home position return
acceleration/deceleration time
constant
Use the acceleration/deceleration time
constant of point table No. 1.
Home position return position
data
Set the current position at the home position
return completion.
(2) Proximity dog length
To generate the Z-phase signal of the servo motor during the DOG (Proximity dog) detection, the
proximity dog length should satisfy formulas (4.1) and (4.2).
