Parameterisation

Homing is parameterised axis-specific in the axis parameter list of an axis. This is divided depending on its task into:

• system parameters and
• sequence parameters

System parameters

System parameters are used to make machine-specific settings in the drive system. The controller is notified of the information below in these parameters:

• Is the axis equipped with reference cams?
• Is zero pulse or cam signal used for referencing?
• What signal level does the cam supply in operated state?

Sequence parameters

The sequence parameters define the response during homing. This includes, for example:

• The velocity at which motion takes place in each of the homing phases.
• The motion direction in which homing is started or executed.
• The number of phases (single-phase or multi-phase) up to referencing.

Effectiveness of parameters

The section “Effectiveness of parameters” provides an overview of the effectiveness of homing parameters depending on the homing strategy used.
