Return to Machine Origin

After system starts, generally returning machine origin is required. Only after such a operation,
soft limit can be enabled and fix point can be set.
According to the type of encoder, and whether to enable encoder feedback, returning to
machine origin can be divided into the following types:
• Return to machine origin incrementally.
• Set absolute datum.

Return to Machine Origin in Incremental Mode

This is suitable for incremental encoder.
Before returning to machine origin, please ensure the following:
• Parameter 11001 Encoder Type is set to 0: incremental encoder.
• Check nameplate of motor to ensure the setting is incremental encoder.
