1 The drive (here: DFME−...−LAS) moves at search speed v_rp to

the switch and reverses. After leaving the switching range, the

drive moves to the next index signal of the displacement

encoder. The reference point REF is there.

2 Then the drive moves at speed v_zp from the reference point

REF to the axis

zero point AZ.
