15. USING A LINEAR SERVO MOTOR
(d) Caution for linear encoder which does not have the home position (reference mark)
The linear encoder which does not have the home position (reference mark), LZ (Encoder Z-phase
pulse) of the servo amplifier does not be outputted. It is depending on positioning controllers to use
whether LZ (Encoder Z-phase pulse) is necessary or not for home position return. Check the
specifications of controllers.
(2) Absolute position linear encoder
The home position reference position using an absolute type linear encoder will be per 1048576 pulses
based on the linear encoder home position (absolute position data = 0). You can change the stop
interval at home position return with the third digit of [Pr. PL01].
POINT
The data set type home position return can also be carried out.
