The procedure for carrying out homing is dependent on the following conditions.
1. If one of the following modes is used for positioning:
– Direct operation
– Individual record operation
– Record linking operation
– Interpolated positioning mode
2. If one of the following motor encoders is used:
– Single-turn absolute encoder (CMMS-AS/CMMD-AS):
After each Power ON/Controller restart (FCT)
– Multi-turn absolute encoder (CMMS-AS/CMMD-AS):
On initial start-up or after replacing the motor
– Incremental encoder (CMMS-ST):
After each Power ON/Controller restart (FCT)
3. If the axis has been parameterised in the Festo Configuration Tool (FCT) with a limited working
stroke (linear)/positioning range (rotative).
For additional information on homing page 154.
