Reference Point Approach Depending on the Start Position
The actual situation in a reference point approach depends on the following:
• the position of the drive at the start of a reference point approach
• the selected start direction
• the set position of the zero marker for the reference point switch.
Table 9-3 explains all the situations for REFPT_TYPE 0 and 1. The diagrams apply
analogously to REFPT_TYPE 2 and 3.

Sequence of a Reference Point Approach
Example of a reference point approach
(REFPT_TYPE=0):
• Start direction is plus.
• Position of the zero marker from the reference
point switch is set in the plus direction.

Example of a reference point approach
(REFPT_TYPE=0):
• The start direction must be set in the plus
direction.
• Position of the zero marker from the reference
point switch is set in the plus direction.
• The reverse switch is more positive than the
reference-point switch.
