You can find explanations in the documentation
HOME_OFFSET = 0.0 - the amount you want to table to move from the homed zero position after the index pulse is found and the encoder position has been set to zero. You don't necessarily need to know exactly how this works prior to homing. Just leave zero, home the machine and see what happens. Then put a value in, home the machine and see what happens. You can then adjust what value you put in to achieve your desired home position. HOME_SEARCH_VEL = 20.0 - the speed to move the axis when you are homing (+ or - determine direction) HOME_LATCH_VEL = 20.0 - the speed to move the axis after hitting the home (or limit) switch while searching for the index pulse (again + or - determines direction) HOME_USE_INDEX = NO - YES here tells the controller to read the encoder index pulse connection. The encoder board then sets the position to zero upon seeing (finding) the index pulse. HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS = NO - YES here tells the control to ignore the axis limit switches while homing. This allow the limit switch to also be used as a home switch to start the search for the index pulse. HOME_SEQUENCE = 1 - check the manual for using this HOME_IS_SHARED = 1 - check the manual for using this These parameters are found in the ini file On Mon, Oct 17, 2016 at 9:03 AM, andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 17 October 2016 at 14:40, Erik Friesen <e...@aercon.net> wrote: > > Ok, but what about homing? > > I think homing uses the encoder "position" pin, which zeroes when index > resets. > > -- > atp > "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is > designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and > lunatics." > — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > ------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users > -- Addressee is the intended audience.
