Item Air cylinder PCON
Position check upon
power on Judgment using a reed switch or other
external detection sensor. When the power is turned on, mechanical coordinates are
not stored in the controller and thus the current position is
not yet determined.
For this reason, a rear end move command must be
executed after the power has been turned on, in order to
establish coordinates.
The actuator performs homing first, and then moves to
the rear end.
[1] The actuator moves toward the mechanical end on
the motor side at the homing speed.
[2] The actuator contacts the mechanical end, reverses
its direction, and stops temporarily at the home
position.
[3] The actuator moves to the rear end at the speed set
in the “Speed” field of the position table.
(Note) Make sure there is no obstacle along the homing
path.
