  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. 
Home position is the first encoder ref. signal after the home switch is reached. Dur-
ing the whole operation, homing is performed at 
Fast Speed 1132. 
B: When homing is started, the home switch is active. Homing direction (search 
direction) is anticlockwise toward negative HW limit switch. Travel to falling edge of 
home switch is performed at 
Fast Speed 1132. When the home switch is passed in 
negative direction, the direction of rotation is reversed. Home position is the next 
encoder ref. signal. Search for the home position is performed at 
Creep Speed 
1133. 
C: Homing direction (search direction) is clockwise toward positive HW limit switch. 
The home switch is not in search direction. The positive limit switch acts as a revers-
ing switch. When the positive limit switch is reached, the direction of rotation is re-
versed, and homing is performed in negative direction. Travel to falling edge of 
home switch is performed at 
Fast Speed 1132. When the home switch is passed, 
the direction of rotation is reversed again. Home position is the first encoder ref. 
signal after the status change of the home switch signal when traveling in positive 
direction. Search for the home position is performed at 
Creep Speed 1133.
