4.4.2 Dog type home position return
A home position return method using a proximity dog. With deceleration started at the front end of the
proximity dog, the position where the first Z-phase signal is given past the rear end of the dog or a motion
has been made over the home position shift distance starting from the Z-phase signal is defined as a home
position.
(1) Signals, parameters

Home position return
acceleration/deceleration time
constants
Point table No.1
Use the acceleration/deceleration time
constants of point table No.1.
Home position return position
data
Parameter No.42
Use to set the current position on
completion of home position return.
(2) Length of proximity dog
To ensure that the Z-phase signal of the servo motor is generated during detection of the proximity
dog (DOG), the proximity dog should have the length which satisfies formulas (4.2) and (4.3).
