Advanced Settings
Check here if the axis can
spin “forever” in both
directions.
Check here if you need the
Homing Offset to be in the
same direction as the
homing move (not typical).
Select whether ClearPath
issues a Lockdown or a
Warning when the “Max
Travel From Home” value is
exceeded.
Homing: Advanced Settings
Rotary Axis with No Limit on Rotation Amount
Check this box if you have an axis such as a conveyor or turntable with
unlimited travel in either direction.
Offset Direction Same as Homing Direction (not commonly used)
Check this box if you want the post-homing offset move to be in the same
direction as the homing move. This setting is mainly used with rotary axes
with unlimited bi-directional motion such as a turntable or conveyor.
Behavior on Travel Limit Hit
This setting tells ClearPath whether to issue either a Warning or a
Lockdown (read note below) if you attempt to move past the “Max Travel
from Home” setting described earlier.
Warning vs. Lockdown
A Lockdown
disallows motion until you toggle Enable to clear it. The
indicator LED on ClearPath flashes alternating yellow and green when a
Lockdown occurs.
A Warning
allows motion only in the direction away from the soft limit
and the Warning automatically clears when the condition that caused it is
no longer present. The indicator LED on ClearPath flashes a green 2-blink
code when a Warning occurs.
