Dog Type Front End Reference Home Position Return Type - Mitsubishi Electric MR-JE-*C Instruction Manual

12. WHEN USING WITH A GENERAL-PURPOSE INTERFACE

12.4.13 Dog type front end reference home position return type

Starting from the front end of the proximity dog, the position is shifted by the travel distance after proximity
dog and the home position shift distance. The position after the shifts is set as the home position.
Homing can be performed independently of the Z-phase signal. Changing the creep speed may change the
home position.
(1) Device/parameter
Set input devices and parameters as follows:
Item
Homing mode selection
Home position return
direction
Dog input polarity
Home position return speed
Creep speed
Travel distance after proximity
dog
Home position shift distance
Acceleration time constant/
deceleration time constant of
homing
Homing position data
POINT
This homing type depends on the timing of reading DOG (Proximity dog) that
has detected the front end of the proximity dog. Therefore, when a homing is
performed at a creep speed of 100 r/min, an error of 200 pulses (for HG series
servo motor) is generated in the home position. The higher the creep speed, the
greater the error of the home position.

Switch on MD0.
Switch off DI0 to DI7.
Select the homing direction with [Pr. PT45]. The
setting is shown as follows:
Address increasing direction: -10
Address decreasing direction: -42
Refer to section 12.4.1 (2) (b) to select the dog input
polarity.
Set the rotation speed until a dog is detected.
Set the rotation speed after a dog is detected.
Set the travel distance specified after the front end of
the proximity dog is passed.
The acceleration/deceleration time constant of [Pr.
PT61] or [Pr. PT62] is used.
Set [Pr. PT60 Function selection T-8] to select the
parameters to be used.
Set the current position at the time of homing
completion.
