MLFB_HomeFindLimitFastInput

Pipe Network motion icon

Function Block - Fast homing to a limit switch.

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 selected is triggered on the edge selected.
An absolute move is made to the triggered position and the position value is set.

Usage

This procedure performs a homing function searching for a sensor using only High Speed Input Switches.
- A High Speed Limit Switch has 1 Off (or On) area.
Home is commanded by the user in the designated homing direction at the selected or programmed Velocity.
The Timeout can cause an error if exceeded.

Inputs

Input	Data Type See Data Types.	Range	Unit	Default	Description
ibExecute	BOOL	0 to 1	N/A	No default	Request the homing step procedure at the rising edge.
iAxisID	AXIS_REF	1 to 256	N/A	No default	Name of a declared instance of the AXIS_REF library function. See AXIS_REF Structure.
iPosition	LREAL	No range	User units	No default	Offset position applied after home switch is found.
ibDirection	BOOL	0 to 1	N/A	No default	Defines the axis homing direction. 0 (zero) = Clockwise rotation. 1 = Counterclockwise rotation.
iVelocity	LREAL	No range	User units / sec	No default	Commanded velocity for the homing move.
iAcceleration	LREAL	No range	User units / sec²	No default	Commanded acceleration for the homing move.
iDeceleration	LREAL	No range	User units / sec²	No default	Commanded deceleration for the homing move.
ibLimitSwitchMode	BOOL	0 to 1	N/A	No default	Limit switch state to complete homing. 0 (zero) = Rising edge of switch. 1 = Falling edge of switch.
ibFastInputNumber	BOOL	0 to 1	N/A	No default	Limit switch state to complete homing. 0 (zero) = Fast Input Number 1. 1 = Fast Input Number 2.
iCycleTime	LREAL	No range	Microseconds	No default	EtherCAT cycle time. Either 250, 500, or 1000.
