14. USING A LINEAR SERVO MOTOR
14 - 20
The following shows the relation between the stop interval at the home position return and the linear
encoder resolution. For example, when the linear encoder resolution is 0.001 μm and the parameter
for the stop interval at the home position return, [Pr.PL01], is set to "_ 5 _ _" (16777216 pulses), the
stop interval is 16.777 mm. The value inside a bold box indicates the recommended stop interval for
each linear encoder resolution.

In the case of a proximity dog type home position return, the nearest reference home position after
proximity dog off is the home position.
Set one linear encoder home position in the full stroke, and set it in the position that can always be
passed through after a home position return start. LZ (Encoder Z-phase pulse) cannot be used.
