Home to Marker
On incremental encoders, the marker pulse generated by the encoder is used by
the drive as the marker for active homing.
On absolute encoders without a marker pulse, the drive synthesizes (internal to
the drive firmware only) a marker pulse that is a consistent position once per
mechanical rotation of the motor. This generated marker pulse is used by the
drive as the marker for active homing of an absolute encoder.
Home Offset
The home offset parameter is the difference between the zero-position for the
application and the machine home-position (found during homing). Once
homing is completed, the zero-position is offset from the home-position by
adding the home offset to the home position. All subsequent absolute moves are
taken relative to this new zero position.
Homing Switch
The homing switch tag enables you to select the drive input used for the Home
Switch connection. The Homing Switch Input Assignment range is 0…11. Inputs
A1…A4 are assigned 0…3 respectively; inputs B1…B4 are assigned 4…7
respectively; and inputs C1…C4 are assigned 8…11 respectively. Do not assign to
A1, A2, A3, or C3 as these inputs have predefined functions.
