Homing depending on the home switch and negative limit switch (

27E A: mode 27)
 Mode 28
Circumstance 1: MC_Home instruction is executed while the home switch is OFF and the axis starts to
move in the negative direction at the first-phase speed. Where the axis stands is the
home position when the home switch is ON.
Circumstance 2: MC_Home instruction is executed while the home switch is ON and the axis moves in
the positive direction at the second-phase speed. The motion direction changes and
the axis moves at the second-phase speed when the home switch is OFF. Where the
axis stands is the home position when the home switch is ON.
Circumstance 3: MC_Home instruction is executed while the home switch is OFF. The axis moves in
the negative direction at the first-phase speed. The motion direction changes and the
axis moves at the first-phase speed when the home switch is OFF and the negative
limit switch is ON. When the home switch is ON, the axis still moves at the first-phase
speed. The motion direction changes and the axis moves at the first-phase speed
when the home switch is OFF. Where the axis stands is the home position when the
home switch is ON.
