14. USING A LINEAR SERVO MOTOR
14 - 21
(b) When the linear encoder home position does not exist in the home position return direction
If the home position return is performed from the position where the linear encoder does not exist in
the home position return direction, a home position return error occurs on the controller. The error
contents differ according to the controller type. Move the linear servo motor to the stroke end on the
opposite side of the home position return direction with the JOG operation from the controller and
others, and then perform a home position return.

POINT
To execute a home position return securely, start a home position return after
moving the linear servo motor to the opposite stroke end with JOG operation
from the controller and others.
Change the third digit value of [Pr. PL01] according to the linear encoder
resolution.
