D.1  Explanation of Homing Modes 
DVP-15MC series motion controller provides many homing modes from which user can choose the 
appropriate one in accordance with the field condition and technical requirement. 
 
 Mode 1 Homing which depends on the negative limit switch and Z pulse. 
Circumstance 1:   MC_Home instruction is executed when the negative limit switch is OFF and the axis 
moves in the negative direction at the first-phase speed. The motion direction changes 
and the axis moves at the second-phase speed when the axis encounters that the 
negative limit switch is ON. Where the first Z pulse is met is the home position when 
the negative limit switch is OFF. 
Circumstance 2:   MC_Home instruction is executed when the negative limit switch is ON and the axis 
moves in the positive direction at the second-phase speed. Where the first Z pulse is 
met is the home position when the negative limit switch is OFF.
