K10CR1 Cage Rotation Stage
Homing.
Direction - the direction sense to move when homing, either Forward or Reverse.
Limit Switch - The hardware limit switch associated with the home position, either
Forward HW or Reverse HW.
Zero Offset - the distance offset (in degrees) from the limit switch to the Home
position.
Velocity - the maximum velocity at which the motors move when Homing.
For further information on the home position, see Section C.2.2.
Hardware Limit Switches
The following parameters notify the system to the action of the switches when contact
is made.
Switch Makes - The switch closes on contact
Switch Breaks - The switch opens on contact
Ignore/Absent - The switch is missing, or should be ignored.
Motor
These parameters are used to set the 'resolution' characteristics of the stage. The
resolution of the motor, combined with other characteristics (such as lead screw pitch)
of the associated actuator or stage, determines the overall resolution. The following
parameters are set at the factory and should not be adjusted. Descriptions are
supplied for information only.
Note
When homing, the stage moves in the reverse direction, (i.e. towards the
home limit switch). This operation is inherent in the design of the stage
and the following parameters should not be adjusted. Descriptions are
supplied for information only
Note
The homing velocity has been optimized at the factory to enhance the
limit switch accuracy and should not normally be adjusted. If this
parameter does need to be altered, the Homing velocity is limited to 5
degrees/sec.
Note
The operation of the limit switch is inherent in the design of the stage. These
parameters should not be adjusted. Descriptions are supplied for information
only.
