Reset Pin (Connect to Analog GND to Reset)

Connect a touch probe to the connector labeled TP on the processor

module (TB2). Connector terminal identification is provided in

Figure 3A.24. Touch probe cable information can be found on page 7A-1

of this manual.
The time delay between the processor module receiving the touch probe

trigger and latching the current axis position is negligible. However, you

should be aware of any external delays that may introduce position

“staleness” in the probing operation, especially at high probing speeds.

It is a good idea to establish an offset for the distance between the actual

location, as sensed by the probe at a very low speed, and the location

sensed by the probe at the intended probing speed. The offset can then be

added or subtracted to any future values obtained through probing. This

helps make sure that if there are any external delays in the trigger signal,

the position staleness shows up as a constant position offset error and is

removed from the measurement (assuming the external delay is

repeatable).

The motion controller touch probe interface is intended for use with units

that offer 5V dc compatible solid state relay outputs. Other configurations

can be supported as long as the user operates within the published

electrical specifications.
