Table 59 - Homing Methods Summary
Immediate Homing
The immediate home operation on the drive defines the current position of the
motor to be the home and the position set to the [HomeOffset] parameter. The
drive must be in Indexing mode or EtherNet/IP Positioning mode and the drive
must be enabled.
Absolute Homing
The absolute homing on the drive behaves similarly to the Immediate Homing
operation. The homing does not induce shaft motion on the motor. The current
position of the motor is the home position and the position is set to the
[HomeOffset] parameter.
The difference between the absolute position in the encoder and the
[HomeOffset] parameter is stored in nonvolatile memory so that all absolute
motion is relative to the current position. After a power cycle the drive continues
to operate as though it was homed.
For absolute homing on motors with absolute encoders, execute an Immediate
Home.

(1) All other values of [HomeMethod] are not used for the Kinetix 300 drive and attempts to use those values will result in a drive fault.
(2) Home-to-torque is not available.
