| Step | Action | | :--- | :--- | | 1 | Set (dog method). | | 2 | Set DZR bit = direction from home to limit switch (e.g., 1 for negative direction). | | 3 | Set DLx bit = 0 if switch is Normally Open (activates to 1 when on dog), else 1. | | 4 | Manually move axis 50mm past the dog toward the limit. | | 5 | Press ZRN + axis direction (per DZR bit). Axis rapids, hits dog, decelerates, creeps, finds grid. | | 6 | Adjust Grid Shift (param 000 for X, 001 for Z) to fine-tune zero point. | | 7 | Record final mechanical position (scribe reference marks on axis). | | | 2 | Set DZR bit = direction from home to limit switch (e
For tool changes or specific parking spots, you can use the following to set secondary "better" positions:
The Fanuc OT control defines reference return positions using a hybrid method: (via parameters 000–003) and Absolute Position (via parameters 508/509 for absolute encoders). Misconfiguration leads to improper deceleration or incorrect zero point establishment. This report details the critical parameters, their bit structures, and safe calculation methods.
