FCT [...][Axis] Axis Options. Hom
ing without index evaluation is possible in open-loop as well as closed-loop operation. In open-loop
operation, no stop can be detected. The actuator therefore must always be positioned before the start
of a homing run so that it can find the switch in the parameterised direction.
