Detecting the Index Pulse (F3)
Refer to Figure 1, CNC Motion Setup/Testing Screen. When you press
IndexP (F3), the CNC displays a flashing “I” each time it detects an Index
Pulse. The flashing “I” replaces the axis name (X, Y, Z, U, or O) of the
active axis. The index pulse indicator (flashing “I”) for the spindle axis is
displayed on the RPM field. In the figure, an index pulse has been
detected on the X-axis. Refer to Figure 3.
To detect an index pulse:
1. Move the active axis to check for the presence of an index pulse.
2. On systems with rotary encoders with index pulses, the index pulse
should be detected once per revolution.
3. On systems having linear scales, the index pulse should be detected
where the linear scale specifies location of the index pulse.
