Homing procedures

Until now referencing procedures have been treated as separate sequences during the start phase of a machine or axis. The actual sequence was not visible to the user. In order to gain more control on the referencing sequence itself, user-specific referencing procedures can now be programmed:

• HomeAbsoluteSwitch – homing to a sensor with movement range limit position sensors
• HomeLimitSwitch – homing to a movement range limit position sensor
• HomeBlock – homing to a mechanical fixed stop
• HomeReferencePulse – homing to the zero track of an encoder
• HomeDirect – static homing, position is set to the user position
• HomeAbsolute - static homing, position is set to the position of a reference encoder
