Homing
Homing is a built in process by which the controller will move the motor while using the home, limit, slowdown, or Z-index inputs to determine the zero-reference position (home point). This point is then used as the reference for all subsequent moves.
The Performax series has five (5) different built-in home search routines. The Commander series has thirteen (13) different built-in home search routines.
Since the signal or signals used to define the home point varies depending on the homing mode selected, carefully select a homing mode that best matches the environment and available input signals of your system. Refer to Home modes for more information on each homing mode.
