Mechanical Endstop
The Homing will start searching for Zero until a mechanical "collision" occurs. The point
at which the motor torque is equal to the specified value of the Homing torque is defined
as the zero position.
Sensor
The Homing function will start seeking for Zero until an external sensor is activated. The
point at which the sensor is activated is defined as zero.
Index
The Homing function will move exactly 1.5 motor revolution and detect where the inter-
nal encoder index pulse is detected. The position where the index pulse was found is de-
fined as zero. 4 different settings possibilities. Standard Forward/Reverse and Quick
Forward/Reverse. Standard is more precise but slower than Quick.
The following sections explain in detail the functionality of the 5 fundamental Homing
modes.
2.6.3 Starting a Homing
If the Homing mode is set to Disabled, no Homing is done at any time.
If Homing on powerup is selected Homing mode will be executed every time the MAC mo-
tor restarted / power cycled.
The Homing can also be initiated click on the Start Homing button on the Homing page.
A similar button is present on the Tests page.
A command is also available via one of the serial interfaces — please consult the technical
manual (LB0048-xx) For more details or see the individual detailed Homing descriptions
in the next pages.
