This Home Mode is available with low-speed operation a mode 18 on the Commander series.


Applies to: CMD-4CR, CMD-4EX-SA


Homing method 2 utilizes both a home limit switch and the Z-index pulse of the encoder. Once the home limit switch is encountered, the motor slows to a lower speed point and sets home as it encounters the Z-index pulse.

Operation 1:

  1. Homing operation is started, accelerate from LSPD to HSPD.
  2. Deceleration starts when home limit is encountered.
  3. Continue moving at LSPD until specified number of Z-Index pulses are counted (ZCNT), zero position is set.
  4. Operation stops and is completed. 
  5. ERC pulse is sent.

Operation 2:

  1. Homing is started while home input is activated.
  2. Acceleration from LSPD to HSPD.
  3. End limit is encountered, immediate stop.

Operation 3:

  1. Homing is started moving away from the home input switch.
  2. Acceleration from LSPD to HSPD.
  3. End limit is encountered, immediate stop.
