Function Manual, 07/2014, A5E03879256-AC
Description
This function corresponds to active homing. The parameters for homing (Page 39) must be con-
figured.
Homing is not possible with an absolute encoder. The technology object is not referenced when
this mode is used with an absolute encoder.
This function corresponds to direct homing (absolute).
With the "Start" button, you set the actual position to the value specified in "Position" and the
"Homed" status is set.
Motion commands occur by means of jogging.
With the "Forward" or "Backward" button you start motion in the positive or negative direction. The
motion runs for as long as you hold down the left mouse button.
The axis is moved at the specified velocity or speed until you stop the movement.
The motion commands are performed according to the setpoints assigned under "Controller".
The positioning is executed as a controlled, relative traversing motion according to the defaults
assigned under "Controller".
The positioning is executed as a controlled, absolute traversing motion according to the defaults
assigned under "Controller".
If you have enabled the "Modulo" setting of the technology object, the buttons "Forward" and
"Backward" are shown in the "Controller" area. The axis is positioned within the modulo range.
Position settings outside the modular range are recalculated to the modulo range.
If you have not enabled the "Modulo" setting of the technology object, only the "Start" button is
shown in the "Controller" area. You can directly approach the entered position.
