MLFB_HomeFindLimitFastInput

Description

This function block performs a single-axis home to a limit switch connected to a High Speed Input. The motor starts to move according to the direction setting. The home position has been found as soon as the fast input The inputs are taken into account at each cycle depending on the system periodicity (for example each millisecond). Under certain circumstances this can be insufficient when more accuracy is needed, or if a quick response is required from the system. To fill the gap, a drive may have some Fast Input connections (generally one or two). When an event happens that triggers a Fast Input (e.g. when a sensor sends a rising edge), the detection of a signal occurs faster (which can be 1000 times more accurate than the system periodicity). Then the timestamp associated with this input can be provided to the IPC to take corrective action selected is triggered on the edge selected.

An absolute move is made to the triggered position, and then the position value is set.

Usage

This homing procedure performs a homing function searching for sensor A sensor is a type of transducer that converts one type of energy into another for various purposes including measurement or information transfer using only High Speed Input Switches. (A High Speed Limit Switch has 1 “Off” (or “On”) area).

• Home is commanded by user in the desired homing direction at the selected Velocity.
• The Timeout can cause an error if exceeded
