(b) Home position return operation
The home position return operation from the position board is basically the same as operation for using
a rotary servo motor.
However, when using the incremental linear scale, it is recommended to use the scale home position
signal detection method or the scale home position signal detection method 2. In this case, the home
position return is performed based on the home position signal (Z-phase). The reference home position
which is created based on the number of encoder pulses per revolution of the servo motor is not used.

The home position return using a Z-phase detection method cannot be used.
When using a home position return method other than the scale home position signal detection method
or the scale home position signal detection method 2, "1
" (Search again) must be set for the
parameter No.0240 (*OPZ1).
