The homing direction (search direction) is negative at 
Fast Speed 1132. When the 
limit switch is reached, the direction of rotation is reversed and homing is performed 
at 
Creep Speed 1133. 
The home position is the first encoder ref. signal after the falling edge of the limit 
switch when traveling in positive direction (clockwise).

The homing direction (search direction) is positive at 
Fast Speed 1132. When the 
limit switch is reached, the direction of rotation is reversed and homing is performed 
at 
Creep Speed 1133. 
The home position is the first encoder ref. signal after the falling edge of the limit 
switch when traveling in negative direction (anticlockwise).
