executed, home position must be defined.
Home position can be defined in a number of ways: an input can set the current position to the home
position; a Home Program can be run to find a set home position (see Appendix A); or a command can
be issued to define the current position.
We will now use the Define Home command to define the home position. Select the Define Home/Posi-
tion menu item from the Run menu. This will display the following dialog box.
Select the OK button to set the current position to 0 and to set the Home Sequence Complete output. If
you knew the motor was at some given position, for example, 0.25 turns from 0, you could use the
Define Position option to set the current position to 0.25.
Absolute Motion
Once the home position has been defined, absolute moves can be done. To try this, display the Run Con-
trol dialog again if needed by selecting Run Control from the Run menu or press F8, then execute an
absolute move (MOVP).
