Home return when using synchronous mode A
In the synchronous mode A, the home return is performed for each axis individually.
[Procedure]
1. Disable the synchronous operation.
2. Execute the home return for the master axis and slave axis individually.
3. Enable the synchronous operation after confirming the completion of the home return for the master
and slave axes.
