Using the Dedicated Discrete Inputs

689

The recommended ladder logic for homing axes is shown below. Only
axes 0 and 1 are shown, but axes 2 and 3 are handled in the same manner.
The Rack Address in the motion controller is set to 5 and the Starting
Group parameter to 0. Thus the dedicated discrete RIO bits appear in I/O
group 1 of rack 5 (I/O:051).

ATTENTION: Do not use the PLC ladder logic shown here
for homing axes in the same PLC program with the ladder
logic shown later for jogging axes or improper operation can
result.
