  CPU 317T: Technology Functions 
6-12  A5E00251798-03 
Applicable to 
•  Positioning axes 
•  Synchronization axes 
Limitations 
Only Mode = 346 and 7 is possible at virtual axes 
Only Mode = 0, 1, 2, 3 46 and 7 is possible at axes with incremental encoders 
Only Mode = 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 is possible for axes with absolute encoders 
When "no mode" was selected in the homing configuration of the axis, 
only Mode = 3, 4, 6 and 7 are possible. 
When Mode = 4, 6, 7 is set, the axis status does not change (homed / not homed).
Requirements 
•  When Mode = 0, 1 and 2 is set, the axis has to be enabled for position control 
•  When Mode = 0 and 1 is set, no MC_Stop command may be being processed 
Override characteristics 
In active homing mode, the technology function MC_Home overrides current 
motion commands. Passive homing is superimposed, i.e. current motions are not 
canceled. The axis motion is determined by the active motion command(s). 
MC_Home does not override current commands. Vice versa, a new command 
does not override MC_Home.
