(b) About proximity dog type home position return using incremental linear encoder
1) When the linear encoder home position (reference mark) exists in the home position return
direction
When an incremental linear encoder is used, the home position is the position per servo motor
revolution to the linear encoder home position (reference mark) passed through first after a home
position return start.
In the case of a proximity dog type home position return, the nearest 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.

2) 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 home position
(reference mark) does not exist, a home position return error occurs on the controller side. The
error contents differ according to the controller type. When starting a home position return at the
position where the linear encoder home position (reference mark) does not exist in the home
position return direction, move the axis up to the stroke end on the side opposite to the home
position return direction by JOG operation, etc. of the controller once, then make a home position
return.
