Active homing

Overview
With the "Active homing" function you traverse the drive to a home position without using a
higher-level control system. The drive itself controls and monitors the homing cycle.
Requirements
• Startdrive is in online mode.
• The "Basic positioner" function module is activated.
• The drive control panel is called and the master control is activated (see Chapter "Using the
control panel (Page 244)").
Procedure
To traverse the drive via the "Active homing" function, proceed as follows:
1. Select the "Basic positioner" entry in the "Operating mode" drop-down list.
2. Select the "Active homing" entry in the "Mode" drop-down list.
3. Click "1" in the "Switch on" field to switch on the motor.
The "Home position coordinates" entry is displayed.
4. Under "Home position coordinate", enter a value in LU/min and press the ENTER key. The
length unit is an internal length unit of the drive.
Note
You can also parameterize the home position coordinates directly at the homing settings of
the basic positioner.
5. Use the "Start" and "Stop" buttons to start or stop active homing.
Drive status
