17.4 Coordinate Origin
The coordinate origin function is used to set the coordinates of the origin to any value after
home return.
• The coordinates of the origin after home return can be set in the positioning memory via the
Parameter Setting dialog box of Configurator PM7 or the user program.
• The set coordinates will be turned into the coordinate origin when executing home return of
the target axis.
Settings of coordinate origin
The coordinate origin for each axis can be set in the Parameter Settings dialog box of
Configurator PM7.
Sample program
An example of reading the current value of axis-1 after unit system conversion and setting it
the coordinate origin is given below.
