reference signal
  The homing direction (search direction) depends on the signal status of the home 
switch. 
A: Homing direction (search direction) is clockwise toward positive HW limit switch if 
home switch and limit switch are inactive. The home switch is in search direction. 
Travel to rising edge of home switch is performed at 
Fast Speed 1132. When the 
home switch is reached, the direction of rotation is reversed. Home position is the 
first encoder ref. signal after the falling edge of the home switch signal. Search for 
the home position is performed at 
Creep Speed 1133. 
B: When homing is started, the home switch is active. Homing direction (search 
direction) is anticlockwise toward negative HW limit switch. Home position is the first 
encoder ref. signal after the home switch is passed in negative direction. Search for 
the home position is performed at 
Creep Speed 1133.
