Origin Search
This operation is used to execute origin searches for a specified axis or for all
axes.
Caution
Before executing an origin search, be sure that it will not affect the equipment.

The present position will be force-set to 0 to define the present position as the
origin if the origin search operation is entered with the origin search method set
to set the origin when power is turned ON.
If the origin search method is set to any other method, the origin search is
executed using the following two steps.
Step 1: The mechanical origin is located.
Step 2: A move is made to the origin in the reference coordinate system.
When origin search is performed for an axis using an absolute encoder, it will
move to the mechanical origin (reference coordinate system origin).
Press the PAUSE Key to cancel an origin search during execution.
Note
1. The offset value between the mechanical origin and the origin in the refer-
ence coordinate system must be set in advance using the system parame-
ter.
2. The offset value is not valid for axes using an absolute encoder.
3. The ORIGIN SEARCH mode is specified as a system parameter.

The present position will be force-set to 0 to define the present position as the
origin if the origin search operation is entered with the origin search method set
to set the origin when power is turned ON.
If the origin search method is set to any other method, the origin search is
executed using the following two steps.
Step 1: The mechanical origin is located.
Step 2: A move is made to the origin in the reference coordinate system.
Origin search can be performed for an axis using an absolute encoder in the
same way as for an incremental encoder.
Press the PAUSE Key to cancel an origin search during execution.
Note
1. The offset value between the mechanical origin and the origin in the refer-
ence coordinate system must be set in advance using the system parame-
ter.
2. The ORIGIN SEARCH mode is specified as a system parameter.
Procedure
Use the following procedure to execute an origin search for all axes.
1, 2, 3...
1. Press the ORIG SRCH Key.
