  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. When the home switch is 
reached, the direction of rotation is reversed again. Home position is the first en-
coder ref. signal after the status change of the home switch signal when traveling in 
positive direction. Travel to rising (right) edge of home switch is performed at 
Fast 
Speed
1132. Search for the home position is performed at Creep Speed 1133.
