# Selection of the homing method (P-AXIS-00294)

P-AXIS-00294 | Selection of the homing method 'Evaluation of encoder overflow'
Description | This homing method is selected with the parameter P-AXIS-00294. To use this option, the parameter P-AXIS-00084 must be assigned the value 0. The number of bits used to detect encoder overflow has to be set in parameter P-AXIS-00355 .
Parameter | kenngr.homing_overflow_evaluation
Data type | BOOLEAN
Data range | 0: No evaluation of encoder overflow (default). 1: Evaluation of encoder overflow.
Axis types | T, R, S
Dimension | T: ---- | R,S: ----
Default value | 0
drive types. | Lightbus
Remarks | This homing method only leads to a repeatable homing position of the axis when encoder overflow occurs every time at the same mechanical position of the axis. This is true for example for resolver encoders.
