Before performing the home position return, make sure that the limit switch
operates.
Check the home position return direction. An incorrect setting will cause a

A home position return is performed to match the command coordinates with the machine coordinates.
Under the incremental method, each power-on of the input power supply requires the home position return.
In the absolute position detection system, once you have performed the home position return at machine
installation, the current position will be retained even if the power supply is shut off. Therefore, the home
position return is unnecessary when the power supply is switched on again.
This section shows the home position return methods of the driver. Select the optimum method according to
the configuration and uses of the machine.
This driver has the home position return automatic retract function. When the machine stops beyond or on a
proximity dog, this function automatically moves the machine back to the proper position to perform the
home position return. Manually moving the machine by the JOG operation or others is unnecessary.
