Homing Mode

In this mode of operation, the Servo Drive has a path generation function (an operation profile
calculation function) and it executes the homing operation using the Homing method specified from the
controller.
When a controller is connected, the following two homing procedures are available depending on the
controller specifications.
• Procedure 1
Create a homing operation pattern in the controller, and provide the command to the Servo Drive
using Cyclic synchronous position mode (csp).
• Procedure 2
Use the Homing mode of the Servo Drive. The controller specifies a homing method supported by the
Servo Drive and commands the start of the homing operation.
When performing the homing operation using the controller in procedure 1, refer to the operating
manual for the controller.
When performing the homing operation using the controller in procedure 2, refer to the operating
manual for the controller, and to Homing Mode Specifications on page A-15 of this manual.
Additional Information
Procedure 1 is used for the OMRON Machine Automation Controller NJ-series (Model: NJ501-
1 00) and the CJ1W-NC281/NC481/NC881/NCF81/NC482/NC882 Position Control Units.
Create a homing operation pattern in the Position Control Unit, provide the command to the
Servo Drive using the Cyclic synchronous position mode (csp), and perform the homing
operation.
