Precautions
• The incremental linear encoder and the absolute position linear encoder have different reference home positions at
homing.
• For the incremental linear encoder, a home position (reference mark) of the linear encoder is necessary in the homing
direction.
• To execute homing securely in the following example, move the linear servo motor to LSN with an operation such as the
JOG operation, then start homing.
Returnable area: Homing is possible when homing
is started from this area.
LSN
Homing direction
Non-returnable area: Homing is not possible when homing
is started from this area.
Dog
