Homing Profiles (continued)
Profile with Network Backplace_Proximity_Bit
Figure R5.2 below shows the move profile generated by a +Find Home command when you use the Home
Input with Network Backplace_Proximity_Bit.
Figure R5.2 Homing with Proximity
1) Acceleration from the configured Starting Speed to the Programmed Speed
2) Run at the Programmed Speed
3) Ignores the Home Input because Backplace_Proximity_Bit has not made a 0
1 transition.
4) Deceleration towards the Starting Speed when the Backplace_Proximity_Bit transitions from 0 to 1. The
axis will stop as soon as the Home Input becomes active.
5) The Starting Speed is the minimum speed the profile will run at. If the axis decelerates to the Starting
Speed before reaching the Home Input, it will continue at this speed.
Figure R5.2 shows the Backplane Backplace_Proximity_Bit staying active until the Net-
worked Driver reaches its home position. This is valid, but does not have to occur. As stated in
step 4, the Networked Driver starts to hunt for the home position as soon and the Backplane
Backplace_Proximity_Bit makes a 0
1 transition
