9. Home Return Completion Output

Description

Output a signal to confirm completion of homing (incremental specification).

With the ASEL controller, a home return completion signal can be output using an I/O parameter.

However, the following explains how to output a home return completion signal within a program using a

general-purpose output.

Once turned ON, a general-purpose output will remain ON even after the current program ends or other

program is started. (It will turn OFF upon emergency stop, etc., but the ON status can be maintained

using an I/O parameter (I/O parameter Nos. 70 and 71).)

Example of Use

a. Output a home return completion signal.

Execute homing.
General-purpose output (arbitrary)

b. Use a home return completion signal to make sure the actuator will not perform homing if it has

already been performed.

Execute homing if output 303 is OFF.
Home return completion output

c. Use the output field instead of a BTON command.

Execute the same processing

performed with the above two steps.

Reference

Output port No. 304 can be used as a home return completion output (dedicated output) by setting I/O

parameter No. 50 to “13.”
