Homing (referencing)

This state makes it possible to set or automatically search for the home position.

  • In the "Homing" status, the following actions are carried out:
    • Creation of the motion profile for the "Homing" function (reference search).
    • Evaluation of the traversing range limit switches and of the homing and touch probe switch during the reference search.
    • If eHomeStopMode <> 0:
      positioning to lrTargetPosition after completion of the homing process.
Note!

The parameters for homing such as the homing mode, speed and home position can be set in the parameters of the AxisRef . Homing

If the parameters must often be changed from the application, this can be carried out using the L_MC1P_SetBasicParameter FB.
