5 List of homing modes 
  In the following sections, the homing modes are explained in detail. The sections are 
organized as follows: 
  •
5.1 Brief description 
• 5.2 Overview table 
• 5.3 Graphical overview 
• 5.5 Detailed explanations 
  The graphic overview and overview table are recommended for experienced users 
who are already familiar with the functions of the different homing types. With these 
overviews, the correct mode for the application can be selected quickly. For a de-
tailed functional description, refer to section 
5.5. 
5.1 Brief Description Homing 
For parameter 
Homing Mode 1130 the following operation modes are available: 
Homing Mode  1130 
Function
  0 -  No Homing 
Factory setting. No homing; the current position 
value is not changed. The current position value is 
the value saved upon last disconnection of power 
supply. 
  1 -  Neg. Limit Switch & Ref. -Signal 
Homing to negative HW limit switch with detection of 
encoder ref. signal. 
  2 -  Pos. Limit Switch & Ref. -Signal 
Homing to positive HW limit switch with detection of 
encoder ref. signal. 
  3 - 
Pos. Home-Sw., Ref.-Signal left 
of Edge 
Homing to positive home switch with detection of 
encoder ref. signal. Home position is the first en-
coder ref. signal to the left of the edge of the home 
switch signal. 
  4 - 
Pos. Home-Sw., Ref.-Signal right 
of Edge 
Homing to positive home switch with detection of 
encoder ref. signal. Home position is the first en-
coder ref. signal to the right of the edge of the home 
switch signal. 
  5 - 
Neg. Home-Sw., Ref.-Signal right 
of Edge 
Homing to negative home switch with detection of 
encoder ref. signal. Home position is the first en-
coder ref. signal to the right of the edge of the home 
switch signal. 
  6 - 
Neg. Home-Sw.: Ref.-Signal left 
of Edge 
Homing to negative home switch with detection of 
encoder ref. signal. Home position is the first en-
coder ref. signal to the left of the edge of the home 
switch signal. 
  7 - 
Pos. Lim.-Sw., Ref.-Sig. left of 
left Edge of Home-Sw. 
  8 - 
Pos. Lim.-Sw., Ref.-Sig. right of 
left Edge of Home-Sw. 
  9 - 
Pos. Lim.-Sw., Ref.-Sig. left of 
right Edge of Home-Sw. 
  10 - 
Pos. Lim.-Sw., Ref.-Sig. right of 
right Edge of Home-Sw. 
Homing to home switch with detection of encoder 
ref. signal. Homing direction positive (clockwise). 
Reversal of direction of rotation when positive HW 
limit switch is reached. 
Home position is the first encoder ref. signal to the 
left or right of the left or right edge of the home 
switch signal.
