Phase 2: Sequence 
In Phase 2, there are two cases, depending on the assigned synchronization method: 
MD34050 $MA_REFP_SEARCH_MARKER_REVERSE (direction reversal on reference 
cam): 
1.  Synchronization with falling reference cam edge: 
MD34050 $MA_REFP_SEARCH_MARKER_REVERSE = 0 
2.  Synchronization with rising reference cam edge: 
MD34050 $MA_REFP_SEARCH_MARKER_REVERSE = 1 
 
 
 
Note 
If, while approaching the reference cam, the actual velocity of the machine axis does not 
reach the set velocity of Phase 2 within the assigned tolerance limits: 
MD35150 $MA_SPIND_DES_VELO_TOL (spindle speed tolerance) 
Phase 1 is started over again. 
This will be the case, for example, if the machine axes are positioned at the reference 
cam when reference point approach starts.  
 
 
Case 1: Synchronization with falling reference cam signal edge 
During synchronization with falling reference cam edge, the machine axis accelerates to the 
assigned reference point creep velocity: 
MD34040 $MA_REFP_VELO_SEARCH_MARKER (reference point creep velocity) 
along the assigned reference point approach direction (traversing direction of Phase 1): 
MD34010 $MA_REFP_CAM_DIR_IS_MINUS (approach reference point in minus direction).  
After the reference cam is exited: 
DB31, ... DBX12.7 (deceleration of reference point approach) = 0, 
the machine axis waits for the next encoder zero mark.  
As soon as the encoder zero mark is detected, Phase 2 comes to an end. The machine axis 
continues at constant velocity and reference point approach is continued with phase 3.
