HEND bits in RCON Motion System, the “mechanical home-return operation” at the startup can be skipped. To check if the feedback position in RCON Motion System is confirmed, call out the general input signal (1) of 0x7008 to the registration monitor and check in bit5: HEND.

7.1.4 Availability in Absolute Position Detection System The encoders described in [7.1.1 Encoder Type] should be supported in RCON Motion System. No matter what type of an encoder is connected, it treats as a virtual ABS encoder with 32 bits per round to the absolute position detection system of the SSCNET III/H master, and absorbs the differences in processes for various of encoder types.
Page 116
As a user operation, execute “mechanical home-return operation” from the SSCNET III/H master during the servo is on in RCON motion system, and the actuator starts to perform the home-return operation. “Driver Home-Return System” should be selected as the home-return system.

7.2 About Home-Return 7.2.2 Operation Alarms at Start of Home-Return Operation If the operation alarm below occurred at the start of the home-return operation, check the parameters of the external input signal on SSCNET III/H controller.

7.2 About Home-Return 7.2.3 Caution Regarding Home-Return Operation ● In order to judge if the coordinates on the RCON side is confirmed already at the power booting in such type as the absolute encoder type, refer to [7.1.1 Encoder Type].

It should be enabled from the startup of the RCON motion system for the absolute type. The soft limiting values at the startup of the RCON motion system should be the values on the software stroke limit positive side and the software stroke limit negative side.
Page 120
Because the stop mode is a conductivity on the limit value in the indicated area should be used only in the servo mode during operation. (If the parameter in RCON-PC/PCF driver unit is set to the full servo mode, it can be the servo mode also during operation)
