With the release of the commander series of controllers the number and types of possible built-in homing modes is greatly increased. This is a cross reference which shows the corresponding homing mode for the commander that most closely matches the PMX homing modes.



 2EX/2ED        4ET/4EX                        CMD

H[axis][+/-]    >           H[axis][+/-]0                Mode 0

L[axis][+/-]     >           H[axis][+/-]1                Mode 6                (Note for 2EX and 3ED LCA is a value for how far away from the Limit the axis will move. 

ZH[axis][+/-]  >          H[axis][+/-]2                Mode 2                (Note for CMD ZCNT is added to go a set number of Z counts before setting Zero.  others set Zero at first Z count.

Z[axis][+/-]     >         H[axis][+/-]3                ZMOVE                (Note for CMD ZCNT is set to go a set number of Z counts before setting Zero.  others set Zero at first Z count. 

                                                        When using ZMOVE, the Counter is not automatically set to Zero 

HL[axis][+/-]  >          H[axis][+/-]4                Mode 1                (Note for 2EX and 3ED HCA is a value for how far away from the Home sensor, before returning at low speed. 




0                renv3 = 0

//Origin Return Operation bit 0000

//Standard homing using the home input only at high speed. Decelerated stop.


1                renv3 = 6

//Origin Return Operation bit 0110

//Home using the limit input. Immediate stop.


2                renv3 = 2

//Origin Return Operation bit 0010

//Home using the home input and z-index.


other                renv3 = 1

//Origin Return Operation bit 0001

//Home using the home input at high and low speed.
