Overview of adjustable parameters
Setting Limit Switches and Reference Switches
The limit switches and reference switches must be set to meet the requirements, see chapter Limit Switches and chapter Reference Switch.
The operating mode Homing establishes an absolute position reference between the motor position and a defined axis position. There are various Homing methods which can be selected via the parameter HMmethod.
The HMprefmethod parameter is used to save the preferred method to the nonvolatile memory (persistent). When the preferred method has been set in this parameter, the method is performed during homing even after the device is powered off and on. The value to be entered corresponds to the value in the HMmethod parameter.

Setting the Distance From the Switching Point
A distance to the switching point of the limit switch or the reference switch must be parameterized for a reference movement with index pulse. The parameter HMdis lets you set the distance to the switching limit switch or the reference switch.

Distance from switching point. The distance from the switching point is defined as the reference point.
The parameter is only effective during a reference movement without index pulse. Type: Signed decimal - 4 bytes Write access via Sercos: CP2, CP3, CP4 Modified settings become effective the next time the motor moves. |

The parameter HMp_home is used to specify a desired position value, which is set at the reference point after a successful reference movement. The desired position value at the reference point defines the zero point.
If the value 0 is used, the zero point corresponds to the reference point.

After detection of the switch, the drive starts to search for the defined switching point. If the defined switching point is not found within the distance defined here, the reference movement is canceled and an error is detected.

Reading out the Position Distance
The position distance between the switching point and index pulse can be read out with the following parameter.
The distance between the switching point and the index pulse must be >0.05 revolutions for reproducible reference movements with index pulse.
If the index pulse is too close to the switching point, the limit switch or reference switch can be moved mechanically.
Otherwise the position of the index pulse can be moved with the parameter ENC_pabsusr, see Chapter Setting Parameters for Encoder.
