The simplest reset method is to turn all actuators on and off at the same time to return to start positions.

The simplest reset method is to turn all actuators on and off at the same time to return to start positions.

• A. In sequence
• B. Gradually
• C. Alternating
• D. Same time

Answer: (D)

Resetting by driving all actuators to their start positions at the same time is the simplest because it uses a single command to bring every axis to its reference point without needing to coordinate a sequence or manage different travel times. When you actuate all axes together, each will move toward its home or limit switch and stop, leaving the whole system in a known, repeatable starting state. This avoids the complexity of timing and ordering required by sequential resets, and avoids potential misalignment that can happen if one axis finishes earlier or later than others. Just ensure the hardware can handle simultaneous motion and that end stops or sensors reliably stop each axis to prevent damage.
