[Emc-users] Index only homing

I see from the change log that index only homing was added at 2.2.0, but I haven't found anything that tells me how to implement this. I'm using a direct drive servo as a rotary axis, and the index pulse is too short for the normal homing sequence to work. Thanks, Fred

Re: [Emc-users] Index only homing

In your .hal file, connect the index-enable pin of the encoder counter and the associated axis.N.index-enable. In your .ini file, set HOME_SEARCH_VEL to 0 (or omit it), and set HOME_LATCH_VEL to the speed at which you want to move during the search for index. To home, ensure that the motor is

Re: [Emc-users] Index only homing

Jeff, regarding the rotary encoder homing on a linear axis... We use a similar system, but use an additional prox switch that says, 'the home is inside THIS revolution'. I use it on a device where the encoder is on a worm gear that turns 90x for every 360 of a C axis. But the idea should apply

Re: [Emc-users] How to set certain AXIS settings to defaults?

Jon, Are you implying that you manually, or otherwise, get the table to within one encoder revolution of home and then do a homing sequence with EMC? Glenn -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Elson Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 10:51
