[ k ] P-OT Signal Method (OW3C = 13)
Operation after Zero Point Return Starts
Travel is started at the approach speed in the positive direction until the stroke limit is reached.
When the P-OT signal is detected, the direction is reversed to return at positioning speed.
When a change in the P-OT signal status from ON to OFF is detected during the return, the positioning is performed.
When the positioning has been completed, a machine coordinate system is established with the final position as the
zero point.
The moving amount after a change in the P-OT signal status is detected is set in the Zero Point Return Travel Dis-
tance. The positioning speed is set in the Speed Reference Setting.
If a negative value is set for the approach speed, the command will end in an error.
If an OT signal is detected during the positioning speed operation, an OT alarm will occur.
Detecting the change in the OT signal status is performed using software processing. The position where positioning
is completed will depend on the high-speed scan setting, positioning speed, etc. Do not use this method if repeat
accuracy is required in the position where the zero point return operation is completed.

Select the setting unit for OL10 (Speed Reference Setting), OL3E
(Approach Speed), and OL40 (Creep Rate).
0: Reference unit/s
n
1: 10
reference units/min
2: Percentage of rated speed (1 = 0.01%)
3: Percentage of rated speed (1 = 0.0001%)
Set the positioning speed to use after detecting the phase-C pulse. The sign
is ignored.
The travel direction will depend on the sign of the Zero Point Return Travel
Distance.
Setting to 0 or a negative value will result in an error.
This parameter allows the travel speed to be changed without changing the
Speed Reference Setting (OL10). The setting can be changed during
operation.
Setting range: 0 to 32767 (0 to 327.67%)
Setting unit: 1 = 0.01%
12: P-OT & Phase-C Pulse Method
Set the speed to be used at zero point return start. Only a positive value can
be set. 0 or a negative value will result in an error.
Set the speed to return in the reverse direction after detecting the P-OT sig-
nal. The sign is ignored, and the axis moves in the negative direction.
Setting to 0 will result in an error.
Set the travel distance from the point where a phase-C pulse is detected.
The travel direction will depend on the sign.
