Home Parameters
Homing refers to the process of orienting a linear or rotary axis to a
specific, repeatable, mechanical position. This chapter covers the AMP
parameters that the control uses to home the axes.
If you have configured your axis as open loop, servo off, or servo
detached, you do not need to set the parameters in this chapter. Refer to
Chapters 7 and 8 for more information on Digital or Analog Servo
Parameters.
Access these parameters by selecting the “Home Parameters” group on the
AMP main menu screen.

your programming and operation manuals. The basic homing process is
described later in this chapter:
