Software Setup and Operation
Homes
Home cycles are used in applications where knowledge of the exact starting position for the
load is a prerequisite for the initiation of other moves. You can activate a home cycle by
sending a signal to an FX drive input line where an Initiate Home input function is assigned.
If the application requires it, you can connect an external home switch or sensor to an input
line to which the Home Sensor input function has been assigned. This would cause the system
to position the motor relative to the sensor location.

Type
The FX drive can perform six different Home types:
• Offset (from resolver zero)
• Feed On (Home To External Sensor)
• Feed On/Offset (home to sensor, then to resolver zero offset)
• Feed On/Off (home to sensor, then off sensor)
• Feed On/Off/Offset (home to sensor, then off sensor, then to resolver zero offset)
• Feed On/Off/On (home to sensor, then off sensor, then on sensor)
