Control Methods: Use the Internal Profile of Driver (Operation mode PP, PV, HM mode)
When using PLC motion control (Operation mode CSP, CSV mode), please check the FAQ here.
ZHOME operation is not possible because ZHOME inputs cannot be assigned to remote I/O or direct I/O.
However, equivalent operation can be performed by setting the target position for absolute positioning to 0 in the profile position mode and executing the operation.
Please refer to the following FAQ for supported return-to-home.
