(b) The driver has been changed;
(c) The servo motor has been changed; or
(d) The absolute position erase (AL.25) occurred.
In the absolute position detection system, the absolute position coordinates are made up by making home

The motor shaft may operate unexpectedly if positioning operation is performed without home position setting.
Always make home position setting before starting operation.
