How Home Works

The Home is used in applications in which the axis must be precisely aligned with some part of the machine. The Home is initiated in one of three ways: with the Initiate Destination function found in the Assignments view, through a program, or with the Online tab. A Home or Define Home is required to set the Absolute Position Valid so that any index to absolute position can work.

The FM-3 module can home the motor to an external sensor, the motor’s encoder marker pulse, or to a sensor and then to the encoder marker pulse.
