Function Block - Homing to a limit switch.

Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
ibExecute	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	No default	Start homing, edge-triggered.
iAxisID	DINT	No range	N/A	No default	ID of the axis block of the Pipe Network.
iPosition	LREAL	No range	User units	No default	Reference position.
ibDirection	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	No default	Defines the axis homing direction. FALSE = Positive. TRUE = Negative.
iVelocity	LREAL	iVelocity > 0	User unit/sec	No default	Reference speed.
iAcceleration	LREAL	iAcceleration > 0	User unit/sec²	No default	Reference acceleration.
iDeceleration	LREAL	iDeceleration > 0	User unit/sec²	No default	Reference deceleration.
ibLimitSwitch	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	No default	Positive or negative limit switch, high-active. Depends on the ibDirection.
iTimeout	TIME	No range	See TIME in Constant Expressions.	No default	Time monitoring (T#0ms: off).

//Start in negative direction and stop when axis hits limit switch or times out
//after seeing limit switch, set axis position to zero
