Homing Tab - AXIS_VIRTUAL
Use this tab to configure the attributes related to homing an axis of the type
AXIS_VIRTUAL.
Figure 6.20 Axis Properties - Homing Tab for Virtual Axis Data Type
Only an Active Immediate Homing sequence can be performed for an axis of
the type AXIS_VIRTUAL. When this sequence is performed, the controller
immediately enables the servo drive and assigns the Home Position to the
current axis actual position and command position. This homing sequence
produces no axis motion.
When a parameter transitions to a read-only state, any pending changes to
parameter values are lost, and the parameter reverts to the most recently saved
parameter value.
Mode
This read-only parameter is always set to Active.
Position
Type the desired absolute position, in position units, for the axis after the
specified homing sequence has been completed. In most cases, this position is
set to zero, although any value within the software travel limits can be used.
After the homing sequence is complete, the axis is left at this position.
