7.2.2.19 InitializeAndHomeXY
Name
InitializeAndHomeXY – Do home search on X then Y axis.
Input tests
- Refer to section 7.1: “Input Tests Common to all XPS Functions”.
- Checks the set option: (-17)
- Verifies this command is allowed: (-22)
- Checks state of physical ends of run: (-113)
- Checks the opened socked is valid: (-200)
- Checks this command is enabled for the current controller configuration: (-205)
Description
This function initializes the motor, calibrates the encoder and activates the servo loop of
each positioner of the XY group. Then, it performs a home search on X positioner and
after on Y positioner. It configures the gantry mode used after homing.
Once the home search is finished with success, the group must be in “READY” state.
NOTE
The selected gantry option during the initialization phase is Option0.
The home search routine for each positioner is defined in the “stages.ini” file by
the “HomeSearchSequenceType” key.
The home search time out is defined in the “stages.ini” file by the
“HomeSearchTimeOut” key.
The home search sequence is defined in the “stages.ini” file by the
“InitializationAndHomeSearchSequence”.The value must be “XthenY”.
Prototype
int InitializeAndHomeXY(
int SocketID,
char * Option
)
Input parameters
SocketID int Socket identifier gets by the
“TCP_ConnectToServer” function.
Option char * Option selection(Option0, Option1 or Option2).
Output parameters
