If a home dog position error alarm is generated it is recommended to adjust the dog position
to within the normal range, even though this alarm status does not affect the homing
accuracy.
In the alarm status, the homing result display indicator lamp on the Operation window of the
utility software lights in yellow (see the figure below).
The alarm status can be checked by the utility software but is not output to the controller
interface.
(6) Setting the Current Position as the Position after a Homing Operation
Set parameter #57 [Coordinate value in command units after homing] to 0, and perform a
homing operation. Then, after moving the current position to the position desired after a
homing operation, set a home offset position. Do not set the coordinate system again while
performing a series of operations. For more information about the operation to set the home
offset position, see Section 6.4.11, "Command" and Section 8.4.2, "Terminal."
