There are 5 basic parameters for the homing configuration, as shown in the following table.
Table 5-13
The homing-specific parameter, smooth factor, can be set in the
range of 1 to 500.
The maximum time of homing procedure.
There are 4 modes of homing procedure:
(1) Go left and right for homing, referring to Section 5.7.1.
(2) Use near home sensor/index for homing, referring to Section 5.7.2.
(3) Use multi-turn absolute encoder for homing, referring to Section 5.7.3.
(4) Use homing methods in CiA 402 protocol, referring to Section 5.7.4.
The motor with the incremental encoder uses homing modes (1) and (2). The motor with the
multi-turn absolute encoder uses the homing mode (3). However, in the case of CoE model, it
uses the homing mode (4). This mode is only supported for the software version of Lightening
0.185 or above.
After setting homing mode, click the “Home” button at the bottom of performance center to
start the homing procedure. The “Homed” status light on the performance center will continue
flashing green when the homing is in progress. When the homing is completed, the “Homed”
status light will be green ( ) to indicate that the homing is successful. However, when
the set “Time out” is reached and the home position is not found, the “Homed” status light will
be red ( ) to indicate that the homing is failed.
