Figure 45: Direct motion control Home / Shift dialog

Home: When leaving the Home / Shift Dialog with OK, all axes with enabled Home checkbox will start the homing procedure.

Shift: When the direct motion control Home / Shift dialog is opened, the current Shift values are shown. When leaving the Home / Shift dialog with OK, the shift values will be applied. To reset the current shift of an axis, set the shift value to 0. The Home and Shift functionality can be combined, first the homing procedure is performed, then the shifts will be applied. The Shift will not be saved within the Settings. After a SAMLight restart this value has to be applied again.

note

If an axis does not move when homing is triggered, inversion of the polarity of the refIO might help.

A homing procedure consists of 2 parts:

1) Move on the switch with homing speed.

2) Leave the switch with switch leaving speed, which is usually much slower than the homing speed. If the polarity of the reference IO is incorrect, part 2 of the homing process is executed at first. No movement is done because the switch is already left.
