Dog Type Home Position Return - Mitsubishi Electric MELSERVO-J2-Super Series Instruction Manual

5. OPERATION

5.4.2 Dog type home position return

A home position return method using a proximity dog. With deceleration started at the front end of the
proximity dog, the position where the first Z-phase signal is given past the rear end of the dog or a motion
has been made over the home position shift distance starting from the Z-phase signal is defined as a home
position.
(1) Signals, parameters
Set the input signals and parameters as follows:
Item
Manual home position return
mode selection
Dog type home position return
Home position return direction
Dog input polarity
Home position return speed
Creep speed
Home position shift distance
Home position return
acceleration/deceleration time
constants
Home position return position
data
(2) Length of proximity dog
To ensure that the Z-phase signal of the servo motor is generated during detection of the proximity
dog (RYn3), the proximity dog should have the length which satisfies formulas (5.2) and (5.3):
