The homing sequence always runs at a sample rate of 4ms and cannot be changed using AMC Rate Select (31.012). Homing begins when AMC Reference Select (34.007) is set to 5 and the motion controller is enabled. The following sequence then occurs.
Homing Phase
Reset Phase
The table below shows a summary of the actions performed by AMC Home Switch (40.012), AMC Home Positive Limit (40.013) and AMC Home Negative Limit (40.014) in each mode. If the positive or negative limits are not required to complete the homing sequence and a limit is reached (state = 1) before the home position has been detected or while moving to the reset position then AMC Reference Select (34.007) is set to 0 to force the system to stop.
* If the limit becomes active during the homing sequence AMC Reference Select (34.007) is set to 0 and the slave will stop under the constraints defined by AMC Stop Mode (34.001).
If the freeze flag for the slave source is used as the home event the home position is set to AMC Slave Freeze Position (33.006) and AMC Home Maximum Speed (40.003) will not have any influence on the accuracy of the home position. However, if AMC Home Switch (40.012) is used as the home event the home position is set to AMC Slave Position (33.004) in the sample after the home event occurs. The time between when the home event occurs and the home position is set to AMC Slave Position (33.004) will be no more than one complete sample (4ms) and the home position will be within 4ms × ParameterCaption(Number) AmcHomeMaxSpeed] of the physical home position.
Homing Modes
The direction of movement during the homing sequence is controlled by AMC Home Mode (40.002) and AMC Home Direction (40.001). The homing sequence for each mode is described in more detail below. In each example it is assumed that the slave feedback device is connected to the drives P1 interface and uses F1 Freeze Flag (03.104) as the freeze source. The actual freeze flag used during the homing sequence is defined by AMC Slave Source Select (33.001) and AMC Slave Freeze Select (33.007).

Positive freeze flag transition |
Mode 0 - Manual
In manual mode the direction of movement is controlled by AMC Home Positive Limit (40.013) and AMC Home Negative Limit (40.014). When AMC Home Negative Limit (40.014) is set to 1 a positive homing reference is applied to the profile generator and when AMC Home Positive Limit (40.013) is set to 1 a negative reference is applied. If both limits are set at the same time the homing reference is set to 0 and the slave will profile to a stop. The home position is set to AMC Slave Position (33.004) when a positive transition of AMC Home Switch (40.012) is detected.
Mode 1 - Home on freeze flag
The slave will move in the direction defined by AMC Home Direction (40.001) until a positive transition of F1 Freeze Flag (03.104) is detected. The home position is then set to AMC Slave Position (33.004). Note that F1 Freeze Flag (03.104) is reset at the beginning of the homing sequence.
Mode 2 - Home on positive limit
If AMC Home Positive Limit (40.013) = 0 when the homing sequence begins the slave will move forwards until a positive transition of AMC Home Positive Limit (40.013) is detected otherwise when AMC Home Positive Limit (40.013) = 1 the slave will move backwards until a negative transition of AMC Home Positive Limit (40.013) is detected. If AMC Home On Freeze (40.011) = 0 the home position is set to AMC Slave Position (33.004) at the transition of AMC Home Positive Limit (40.013) or when AMC Home On Freeze (40.011) = 1 the freeze flag is reset and the slave will move in the direction defined by AMC Home Direction (40.001) until a positive transition of F1 Freeze Flag (03.104) is detected. The home position is then set to AMC Slave Freeze Position (33.006).
Mode 3 - Home on negative limit
If AMC Home Negative Limit (40.014) = 0 when the homing sequence begins the slave will move backwards until a positive transition of AMC Home Negative Limit (40.014) is detected otherwise when AMC Home Negative Limit (40.014) = 1 the slave will move forwards until a negative transition of AMC Home Negative Limit (40.014) is detected. If AMC Home On Freeze (40.011) = 0 the home position is set to AMC Slave Position (33.004) at the transition of AMC Home Negative Limit (40.014) or when AMC Home On Freeze (40.011) = 1 the freeze flag is reset and the slave will move in the direction defined by AMC Home Direction (40.001) until a positive transition of F1 Freeze Flag (03.104) is detected. The home position is then set to AMC Slave Freeze Position (33.006).
Mode 4 - Home on home switch
If AMC Home Switch (40.012) = 0 when the homing sequence begins the slave will move forwards until a positive transition of AMC Home Switch (40.012) is detected otherwise when AMC Home Switch (40.012) = 1 the slave will move backwards until a negative transition of AMC Home Switch (40.012) is detected. If AMC Home On Freeze (40.011) = 0 the home position is set to AMC Slave Position (33.004) at the transition of AMC Home Switch (40.012) or when AMC Home On Freeze (40.011) = 1 the freeze flag is reset and the slave will move in the direction defined by AMC Home Direction (40.001) until a positive transition of F1 Freeze Flag (03.104) is detected. The home position is then set to the AMC Slave Freeze Position (33.006).
Mode 5 and 6 - Home on home switch with positive limit
Homing modes 5 and 6 use the same general sequence but home to different sides of the active home region. When AMC Home Mode (40.002) = 5 the slave will home to the negative side of the home region and when AMC Home Mode (40.002) = 6 the slave will home to the positive side. The homing sequence for mode 5 is as follows.
If AMC Home Switch (40.012) = 0 when the homing sequence begins the slave will move forwards until a positive transition of AMC Home Switch (40.012) is detected otherwise when AMC Home Switch (40.012) = 1 the slave will move backwards until a negative transition of AMC Home Switch (40.012) is detected. If the slave is initially on the positive side of the active home region AMC Home Positive Limit (40.013) will be set to 1 before the home position is detected. If this happens the slave will move backwards until a negative transition of AMC Home Switch (40.012) is detected. If AMC Home On Freeze (40.011) = 0 the home position is set to AMC Slave Position (33.004) at the transition of AMC Home Switch (40.012) or when AMC Home On Freeze (40.011) = 1 the freeze flag is reset and the slave will move in the direction defined by AMC Home Direction (40.001) until a positive transition of F1 Freeze Flag (03.104) is detected. The home position is then set to AMC Slave Freeze Position (33.006).
Mode 7 and 8 - Home on home switch with negative limit
Homing modes 7 and 8 use the same general sequence but home to different sides of an active home region. When AMC Home Mode (40.002) = 7 the slave will home to the negative side of the home region and when AMC Home Mode (40.002) = 8 the slave will home to the positive side. The homing sequence for mode 8 is as follows.
If AMC Home Switch (40.012) = 0 when the homing sequence begins the slave will move backwards until a positive transition of AMC Home Switch (40.012) is detected otherwise when AMC Home Switch (40.012) = 1 the slave will move forwards until a negative transition of AMC Home Switch (40.012) is detected. If the slave is initially on the negative side of the active home region AMC Home Negative Limit (40.014) will be set to 1 before the home position is detected. If this happens the slave will move forwards until a negative transition of AMC Home Switch (40.012) is detected. If AMC Home On Freeze (40.011) = 0 the home position is set to AMC Slave Position (33.004) at the transition of AMC Home Switch (40.012) or when AMC Home On Freeze (40.011) = 1 the freeze flag is reset and the slave will move in the direction defined by AMC Home Direction (40.001) until a positive transition of F1 Freeze Flag (03.104) is detected. The home position is then set to the AMC Slave Freeze Position (33.006).

AMC Home Required (40.020) can be used to prevent AMC Profile Input Position (38.006) from being changed until a home sequence has been completed.
If AMC Home Required (40.020) is enabled and AMC Home Slave Source (40.021) is not the same as AMC Slave Source Select (33.001) then AMC Profile Input Speed (38.007) is held at zero unless AMC Reference Select (34.007) is set to Home, i.e. no motion other than a home is possible until a home has been completed using the slave feedback device selected in AMC Slave Source Select (33.001). Under this condition AMC Home Required Flag (41.017) and the corresponding bit in AMC Status (41.002) are set to indicate that a home is required before a reference can be applied to the input of the profile generator.
When a home has been completed AMC Home Slave Source (40.021) is set to AMC Slave Source Select (33.001) and the following parameters are saved automatically if the position feedback is configured to be absolute.
