Search for reference, step 1: travel to reference cam 
If there is no reference cam present (p2607 = 0), go to step 2. 
When the referencing process is started, the drive accelerates at maximum acceleration 
(p2572) to the reference cam approach velocity (p2605). The direction of the approach is 
determined by the signal of binector input p2604 (search for reference start direction). 
When the reference cam is reached, this is communicated to the drive using the signal at 
binector input p2612 (reference cam); the drive then brakes down to standstill with the 
maximum deceleration (p2573). 
If a signal at binector input p2613 (reversing cam, MINUS) or at binector input p2614 
(reversing cam, PLUS) is detected during reference point approach, the search direction is 
reversed. 
If the minus reversing cam is approached in the positive direction of travel or the plus 
reversing cam in the negative direction of travel, fault message F07499 "EPOS: Reversing 
cam approached from the wrong direction" is generated. In this case, the reversing cam 
connections must be checked (BI: p2613, BI: p2614) or the direction of approach to the 
reversing cam. 
The reversing cams are low active. If both reversing cams are active (p2613 = "0" and p2614 
= "0"), the drive remains stationary. As soon as the reference cam is found, then 
synchronization to the reference zero mark is immediately started (refer to step 2). 
If the axis leaves its start position and travels the distance defined in parameter p2606 (max. 
distance to reference cam) heading towards the reference cam without actually reaching the 
reference cam, the drive remains stationary and fault F07458 (reference cam not found) is 
issued.
