Zero Offset
- the distance offset (in mm or degrees) from the limit switch to the Home
position.
Velocity
- the maximum velocity at which the motors move when Homing.
For further information on the home position, see Section C.2.2.
Hardware Limit Switches
The operation of the limit switches is inherent in the design of the associated stage or
actuator. The following parameters notify the system to the action of the switches
when contact is made. Select Reverse or Forward as required, then select the
relevant operation.
Switch Makes
- The switch closes on contact
Switch Breaks
- The switch opens on contact
Ignore/Absent
- The switch is missing, or should be ignored.

Note
The minimum velocity and acceleration/deceleration parameters for a home move are
taken from the existing move velocity profile parameters.
