8.11.3 Using internal homing procedure with controller
The internal homing procedure is used to assist controller in finding the absolute coordinates on a
mechanism. The controller only needs to trigger the internal homing procedure by inputting servo drive
built-in homing procedure input (HOM) signal.
After the homing procedure completes, servo drive homing completion output (HOMED) signal is output.
Then the controller can proceed to the next motion planning. If the internal homing procedure fails or
exceeds the time limit, it is regarded as homing failure, please check the velocity setting of the motor or
the sensor for external input signal.

Note:
If the internal homing procedure fails, the servo drive does not output servo drive homing completion output
(HOMED) signal. Controller must have a timer to measure the execution time of the internal homing procedure. If the
execution time is too long, it is regarded as homing failure.
