Incidents
If homing mode is selected when an axis is already on the switch, the error indicator (error 32) is displayed in the status
window (See 3.1.3).
Acknowledge the error. ☞
Manually retract the axis from the switch.
Restart the origin setting procedure.
5.1.2.2 Origin Declaration via the Keyboard
Sometimes the home switch is not accessible (cumbersome part mounted on the table, not allowing collision-free
movement).
In such cases, the measurement can be set by entering the position of a known point via the keyboard.
REMARK This procedure can be performed either on one axis at a time or on several axes
simultaneously. It can also be partial, i.e. home normally on certain axes if the
corresponding switch remains accessible.
Origin declaration via the keyboard can be inhibited by machine parameter P7
(see Parameter Manual).
Requirements
No mode being executed. If a mode is being executed, this command is only taken into account after an interruptible

Actions

5.1.2.3 Automatic Homing
Homing can be performed automatically using programmes written for this purpose (see the example of homing
programme in the Programming Manual or check the machine manufacturer’s documentation which may include a
special programme for homing the machine).
A homing programme is executed and runs in the same way as a part programme (See 5.4).
