Parameter Value  Description 
Positive 
direction 
Reference point approach in positive direction.
Start reference point 
approach 
Negative 
direction 
Reference point approach in negative 
direction. 
Approach velocity    Velocity at which the axis approaches the 
BERO. 
Entry velocity    Velocity at which the axis approaches the 
(shifted) homing position after detection of the 
zero mark. 
Shutdown velocity    Velocity at which the axis approaches the 
homing position coordinate after detection of 
the BERO. 
Homing position offset    A homing position offset shifts the homing 
position by the configured distance. The axis 
moves by a configured distance after its 
synchronization at the BERO edge at the 
velocity defined under Homing Velocity. 
Modulo axes always take the shortest 
distance. 
Disabled  Distance up to BERO detection not monitored Max. distance to BERO 
Enabled  Monitoring of the distance between the start of 
the reference point approach and BERO 
detection. If the difference in this distance 
exceeds the configured distance, the 
corresponding technology DB indicates error 
801D. The reference point approach is 
canceled. 
Note 
To home the axis to BERO, interconnect the BERO as digital input with the measured value 
input of the drive component. 
Note 
In order to execute reference point approach in "BERO only" homing mode, select 
"Signal transition" and "BERO edge" values which correspond with the drive 
configuration or functionality. The "Signal transition" and "BERO edge" parameters 
do not configure the measuring function in the drive, but rather reflect their 
functionality in order to control axis motion according to the configuration. 
For information on the configuration of BERO detection, refer to the relevant 
product information or to the drive manuals.
