7.6 Homing the product
For position detection, the product is equipped with a measuring
system that can detect the finger position with high spatial
resolution. Due to the incremental functional principle, the
product has to be referenced before motion commands can be
executed. The product has a special command for referencing
which can be executed via the command interface or manually via
the web interface. The product moves its fingers to the block and
saves the measured position as a reference value. To offer
maximum flexibility, a reference run both inwards and outwards is
possible. In the latter case, a factory-calibrated value is used to
shift the reference position, so that both variants end up with the
same direction and origin of the axis system.
NOTE
• Make sure that the fingers can actually move freely in the
respective referencing direction up to the product's mechanical
end stop.
• This reference run should always be carried out in the direction
of the required positioning accuracy.
• To automatically reference the product on startup, activate the
"Homing on Startup" option via the web interface (menu item
Settings -> Motion Configuration
).
