6.1.5  Reference 
In the manual mode and single mode the axes can be referenced. Depending on the setting in „Axes-
Parameters -> General Parameters -> Mode reference“ the following applies: 
  Mode 1, 3, 5, 7: The “F2” key has to be pressed for at least 2 sec. With a two-axes controller, 
the reference symbol of the corresponding axis has to be displayed (in the manual mode the 
corresponding axis needs to be selected, in the single mode the target value of the 
corresponding axis needs to be selected). 
  Mode 2, 4, 6, 8: a external Input has to be activated in order to reference 
  Mode 1 o. 2: the value stored in the menu Parameter -> Axis -> Distances -> reference value 
is taken as the current actual value for the axis 
  Mode 3 o. 4: the value entered for target position is taken as the current actual value. 
  Mode 5 o. 6: Reference drive to switch end-position positive with index pulse 
(see 6.1.5.1Functioning of the reference drive) 
  Mode 7 o. 8: Reference drive to switch end-position negative with index pulse. 
(see 6.1.5.1Functioning of the reference drive) 
6.1.5.1  Functioning of the reference drive   
The controller moves to the axis that needs to be referenced in dependence of the parameter: Parameter Æ 
Axis  Æ General Axis Parameter Æ Mode reference. The output “reference drive run” is set. If the 
corresponding input (switch end-position positive or negative) is activated, the controller stops. After a dwell 
time it moves in the opposite direction. Once the appropriate input (switch end-position) is disabled, the 
index pulse will be released. For the next zero pulse the controller stops and the reference value stored in the 
ParameterÆAxis ÆDistancesÆReference will be transferred in the actual value window.
