Understanding Fanuc Parameter 1860: Reference Position and Absolute Encoders

The CNC reads the current value from the encoder.

It compares this value against the stored data in Parameter 1860 .

If the stored position in 1860 suggests the machine is outside its travel limits upon startup, you may need to power on while holding "P" and "CAN" (Cancel) to bypass the check and re-home the axis. Step-by-Step: Setting the Reference Position

In Fanuc CNC systems, Parameter 1860 acts as the machine's memory for when using absolute pulse coders (APC). Unlike incremental encoders, which must hit a "limit switch" or "dog" every time the machine starts up, absolute encoders always know their position.
