5.2.5 Teach the axis zero point
Factory setting Axis zero point with:
 Homing to reference switch: 0 mm
 Homing to negative fixed stop: +1 mm
 Homing to a positive
fixed stop: 1 mm
Note
Risk of overloading when homing to stop:
The drive must not press continuously against a
mechanical stop (excessive warming).
· Make sure that the axis zero point is at least 1 mm away
from the mechanical stop.
This causes the drive to leave the mechanical stop after
recognis
ing the reference point.
If necessary, teach the axis zero point:
Warning
The drive will move during teaching.
· Make sure that nobody can reach into the positioning
range of the moveable load and that there are no objects
in its path.
1. Select [Settings] [Axis
parameter] [Zero point].
2. Move the drive manually to the desired axis zero point
using the arrow keys.
3. Accept the position reached with
OK <Enter>.
4. Save the parameter settings in EEPROM with the [SAVE]
menu command.
5. Perform another homing run (see section 5.2.4).
When homing is concluded, th
e drive stands at the new
axis zero point.
