<strong>CANopen</strong> Programmer’s <strong>Manual</strong> 6: Homing Mo<strong>de</strong> Operation<br />

Homing Methods Overview<br />

There are several homing methods. Each method establishes the:<br />

Home reference (limit or home switch transition or enco<strong>de</strong>r in<strong>de</strong>x pulse)<br />

Direction of motion and, where appropriate, the relationship of the in<strong>de</strong>x pulse to limit<br />

or home switches.<br />

Legend to Homing Method Descriptions<br />

As highlighted in the example below, each homing method diagram shows the starting position on<br />

a mechanical stage. The arrow line indicates direction of motion, and the circled H indicates the<br />

home position. Solid line stems on the in<strong>de</strong>x pulse line indicate in<strong>de</strong>x pulse locations. Longer<br />

dashed lines overlay these stems as a visual aid. Finally, the relevant limit switch is represented,<br />

showing the active and inactive zones and transition.<br />

Note that in the homing method <strong>de</strong>scriptions, negative motion is leftward and positive motion is<br />

rightward.
