4.4.3 Count type home position return
In count type home position return, a motion is made over the distance set in parameter No.43 (moving
distance after proximity dog) after detection of the proximity dog front end. The position where the first Z-
phase signal is given after that is defined as a home position. Hence, if the proximity dog (DOG) is 10ms
or longer, there is no restriction on the dog length. This home position return method is used when the
required proximity dog length cannot be reserved to use dog type home position return or when the
proximity dog (DOG) is entered electrically from a controller or the like.
