6.2 Motion Command Details
6.2.8 Set Zero Point (ZSET)
6-52
6.2.8 Set Zero Point (ZSET)
The ZSET command sets the current position as the zero point of the machine coordinate system. This enables setting
the zero point without performing a zero point return operation.
When using software limits, always execute the zero point or zero point return operation. The software limit function
will be enabled after the zero point setting operation has been completed.
( 1 ) Executing/Operating Procedure
1.
Check to see if all the following conditions are satisfied.
2.
Set OW08 to 9 to execute the ZSET motion command.
A new machine coordinate system will be established with the current position as the zero point. IW08 will
be 9 during the zero point setting operation. IW0C, bit 5 will turn ON when zero point setting has been com-
pleted.
The position data when the zero point setting is completed will differ depending on the axis setting, as shown in
the following table.
3.
Set OW08 to 0 to execute the NOP motion command and then complete the zero point setting.
( 2 ) Holding and Aborting
The Holds a Command bit (OW09, bit 0) and the Interrupt a Command bit (OW09, bit 1) cannot be used.

[ a ] Setting Parameters
No. Execution Conditions Confirmation Method
1 There are no alarms. Both IL02 and IL04 are 0.
2 Motion command execution has been completed. IW08 is 0 and IW09, bit 0 is OFF.
