A.7.1
Homing SINAMICS drives with external zero marks
For SINAMICS drives with external zero marks, synchronization during homing must always
occur on the left side of the external zero mark's signal. That is to say, with a positive
direction of travel synchronization is done on a positive edge, and with a negative direction of
travel synchronization is done on a negative edge.
By inverting the signal, synchronization can also be done on the right sight of the signal of
the external zero mark. The inversion can be configured in the drive using SINAMICS
parameter P490.
Homing to an encoder zero mark or an external zero mark is configured in SINAMICS
parameter P495.
