Supported Homing Methods

Method 1: Homing on the negative limit switch and index pulse

The initial movement is in the negative direction if the negative limit switch is inactive.

The initial movement is in the positive direction if the negative limit switch is active.

The home position is at the first index pulse in the positive direction where the negative limit switch becomes inactive.

Method 2: Homing on the positive limit switch and index pulse

The initial movement is in the positive direction if the positive limit switch is inactive.

The initial movement is in the negative direction if the positive limit switch is active.

The home position is at the first index pulse in the negative direction where the positive limit switch becomes inactive.

Methods 3 and 4: Homing on the positive reference switch and index pulse

The initial movement is in the negative direction if the positive reference switch is active.

The initial movement is in the positive direction if the positive reference switch is inactive.

oMethod 3:

The home position is at the first index pulse in the negative direction where the reference switch becomes inactive.

oMethod 4:

The home position is at the first index pulse in the positive direction where the reference switch becomes active.

oMethod 9:

The home position is at the first index pulse in the negative direction where the reference switch becomes active.

oMethod 10:

The home position is at the first index pulse in the positive direction where the reference switch becomes inactive.

Methods 11 to 14:

The initial movement is in the negative direction if the reference switch is inactive.

The initial movement is in the positive direction if the reference switch is active.

If the initial movement leads away from the reference switch, the drive reverses on encountering the negative limit switch.

oMethod 11:

The home position is at the first index pulse in the positive direction where the reference switch becomes inactive.

oMethod 12:

The home position is at the first index pulse in the negative direction where the reference switch becomes active.

oMethod 13:

The home position is at the first index pulse in the positive direction where the reference switch becomes active.

oMethod 14:

The home position is at the first index pulse in the negative direction where the reference switch becomes inactive.

Methods 15 and 16: Reserved

Method 17. Homing on the negative limit switch

Method 18: Homing on the positive limit switch

The initial movement is in the positive direction if the positive limit switch is inactive.

The initial movement is in the negative direction if the positive limit switch is active.

The home position is in the negative direction where the positive limit switch becomes inactive.

The home position is in the positive direction where the reference switch becomes active.

Methods 21 and 22: Homing on the negative reference switch

The initial movement is in the positive direction if the negative reference switch is active.

The initial movement is in the negative direction if the negative reference switch is inactive.

oMethod 21:

The home position is in the positive direction where the reference switch becomes inactive.

oMethod 22:

The home position is in the negative direction where the reference switch becomes active.

Methods 23 to 30. Homing on the reference switch

These methods use a reference switch which is active over only portion of the travel.

Methods 23 to 26:
