Chapter 5 Configuring the Kinetix 3 Drive
Understanding the Homing
Window The Properties window for Homing looks like this.
Use the Homing window to configure the type of homing operation the drive
performs.
Homing has no associated statuses. Except for Copy and Paste, and it has no
direct commands.
The following parameters apply to Homing.
TIP Homing operations are performed by issuing the Start Homing command
from the Indexing Control Panel.
Parameter Description
Home Type The type of homing operation the drive performs:
• To Home sensor / Back to Marker: When homing is started,
the motor moves toward the homing direction at homing
velocity until it detects the home sensor. At that time, the
motor decelerates and stops, and moves toward reverse
direction at creep velocity. When it loses the signal input
from home sensor and meets the first marker, it is
decelerated and stops, and returns to the position where it
detects the active going edge of the first marker.
• To Limit/Back to Marker: This procedure is the same as the To
Home sensor / Back to Marker, except that the physical
overtravel is used instead of the home sensor input. The
physical overtravel fault is disabled while homing.
• To Home sensor / Fwd to Marker: When homing is started,
the motor moves toward the homing direction at homing
velocity until it detects the home sensor. At that time, the
velocity decelerates to the creep velocity. The creep velocity
is maintained until it detects the active going edge of marker,
and then it stops and moves backward to the position where
it detects the active going edge of marker.
