Home Type
The Home Type parameter determines the type of home, Standard Home or One Side Home.
Home Reference
The Home Reference parameter determines how the reference position is calculated. When Standard Home Type is selected
the parameter can have one of three different values: ‘Sensor’, ‘Marker’, or ‘Sensor and Marker’. When One Side Home Type
is selected the parameter value is ’Senor’.
Sensor
When the Home Reference is ‘Sensor’ the active going edge of the ‘Home Sensor’ input function is used to establish the
reference position.
Marker
When the Home Reference is ‘Marker’ the rising edge of the motor encoder’s marker channel is used to establish the reference
position.
Sensor and Marker
When the Home Reference is ‘Sensor and Marker’ the reference position is established using the first marker rising edge after
the Home Sensor input function goes active.
Chain to Index
When the check box is selected, the device will then start the index shown in the text box after the home cycle is complete.
Velocity
This parameter specifies the velocity used for homing. Use a positive value to make the drive home in the positive direction
and a negative value to make the drive home in the negative direction. The velocity units are defined by the Time Scale
parameter on the User Units view.
