Neg. HW Limit Switch
Home switch
Encoder
reference signal
  A: Homing direction (search direction) is anticlockwise toward negative HW limit 
switch if home switch and limit switch are inactive. The home switch is in search 
direction. Travel to rising (right) edge of home switch is performed at 
Fast Speed 
1132. Home position is the first encoder ref. signal after the home switch is passed. 
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. Homing is 
performed at 
Creep Speed 1133. 
C: Homing direction (search direction) is anticlockwise toward negative HW limit 
switch. The home switch is not in search direction. The negative limit switch acts as 
a reversing switch. When the negative limit switch is reached, the direction of rota-
tion is reversed, and homing is performed in positive direction. When the home 
switch is reached, the direction of rotation is reversed again. At first, the operation is 
performed at 
Fast Speed 1132, when the left edge of the home switch is reached, 
the speed is changed to 
Creep Speed 1133. Home position is the first ref. signal in 
negative direction after the falling edge of the home switch signal.
