6.4.6 Referencing the Rotary Motor
The rotary motor has an integrated single-turn absolute encoder. This means that the rotary motor knows its
position without any reference run after the drive is started up.
Figure: Activate the absolute encoder for rotary motors by selecting "LmComm And In Sensor Period"
(default value). With parameter "Home Position" an offset to the start position can be set.
If a reference run is necessary due to mechanical events, e.g. an external gear, it is recommended to
reference an external sensor. A number of options for homing are available to the user under Parameter ->
Motion Control SW -> State Machine Setup -> Homing.
