CS-Lab CSMIO/IP-A User Manual

10.8 Configuration of directions, homing and software limits.
When axes are scaled and their speed is configured,
it is important to set directions correctly. Useful
function is possibility to indicate software limits - the
machine working range.
Select in the menu „ConfigHoming/Limits” posi-
tion. In the window, we have configuration parame-
ters for each axis:
Column name
Description
Reversed
Switching this field, you change direction of an axis motion.
Soft Max
Maximum range of motion in positive direction
Soft Min
Maximum range of motion in negative direction
Slow Zone
In CSMIO/IP-A, this field is not used. In LPT, it is used to define a section for
braking near to the end of working range. CSMIO/IP-A controller automatical-
ly calculates the braking distance including acceleration defined for the axis.
The best way is to enter 0 in this box.
Home Off.
Starting v1.07 version software - in this field we can define a distance of
going off from HOME sensor after homing. If we enter e.g. 5mm then the
controller will home the axis on a HOME sensor and after that it will go off
with 5mm and reset axis position. You can also enter a negative value - in
some cases it us very useful.
Home Neg
As a standard an axis homing goes into negative direction. However we usu-
ally home the Z axis upwards and the down motion is a negative direction. So
we have to do Z axis homing in a positive direction. Home Neg is to select
homing direction.
Auto Zero
This area is not used on the CSMIO/IP-A controller. After homing – the axis is
always zeroed.
Speed %
Homing speed. It is shown as a percent of maximum speed defined in „Motor
Tuning”. For the first tests we recommend 10%.
Attention! – you can enable and disable software limits. If they are enabled, the program cannot control an
overrun of working area. The only protections are hardware LIMIT switches.
In firmware versions v2.051 and higher you can choose a mode of work of the "Home off.". By default it
works like described above in the table but after changing the working mode in a configuration window of
plugin the „Home Off.” parameter won't cause home off but only set a machine coordinate on demanded
value after homing.
This function mode selection can be done in a „Special Functions/Other” tab, „LegacyHomeOffset” option.
