1. Outline
The interval of each reference marks of distance coded linear scale are variable.
Accordingly, if the interval is determined, the absolute position can be determined.
The CNC measures the interval of reference marks by axis moving of short distance
and determines the absolute position. Consequently the reference position can be
established without moving to reference position.

2.1 Procedure for Reference Position Establishment
(1) Select the JOG mode, and set the manual reference position return selection
signal ZRN to "1".
(2) Set a direction selection signal(+J1,-J1,+J2,-J2,…) for a target axis.
(3) The axis is fed at a constant low speed (reference position return FL feedrate
specified by parameter (No.1425) setting).
(4) When a reference mark is detected, the axis stops, then the axis is fed at a
constant low speed again.
(5) Above (4) is executed repeatedly until two or three or four reference marks are
detected. And absolute position is determined and reference position
establishment signal (ZRF1,ZRF2,ZRF3,+ _…) turns to "1". The number of
reference marks to be detected is defined by parameter No.1802.

The axis does not stop and reference position establishment is proceeded even if the
feed axis direction selection signal (+J1,-J1,+J2,-J2,…) turns to "0" between step (2)
and (5).
The timing chart for this procedures is given below.
