The Find Edge (FE) and Home (HM) instructions may be used to home the motor to a mechanical
reference. This reference is connected to the Home input line. The HM command initializes the
motor to the encoder index pulse in addition to the Home input. The configure command (CN) is
used to define the polarity of the home input.
The Find Edge (FE) instruction is useful for initializing the motor to a home switch. The home
switch is connected to the Homing Input. When the Find Edge command and Begin is used, the
motor will accelerate up to the slew speed and slew until a transition is detected on the Homing
line. The motor will then decelerate to a stop. A high deceleration value must be input before the
find edge command is issued for the motor to decelerate rapidly after sensing the home switch.
The Home (HM) command can be used to position the motor on the index pulse after the home
switch is detected. This allows for finer positioning on initialization. The command sequence
HM and BG causes the following sequence of events to occur.
