LEGEND-MC User’s Manual

HM (Home)

[Motion]

DESCRIPTION:

The HM command performs a three-stage homing sequence.

The first stage is the motor moving at the user programmed speed until detecting a transition on the Home
input. The direction for this first stage is determined by the initial state of the Home input. Once the Home
input changes, the motor decelerates to a stop. The state of the Home input can be configured using the CN
command.

The second stage consists of the motor changing directions and slowly approaching the transition again.
When the transition is detected, the motor is stopped instantaneously.

The third stage consists of the motor slowly moving forward until it detects an index pulse from the encoder.
It stops at this point and defines it as position 0.

ARGUMENTS: HM XYZW or ABCDEFGH

USAGE:

OPERAND USAGE:

_HMn contains the state of the Home input. Regardless of the limit switch polarity, where n is an axis letter,
0 always means the home input is active, 1 means inactive.
