2.4.4.2 Homing on Positive/Negative BlockMOVINGPART130BF571.10Illustration 2.30 Example of Homing Method on BlockMethod –1 Homing on negative block and method –2 Homing on positive block perform a homing against a physical objectthat mechanically blocks the movement. A limit switch or home switch is not required.NOTICEAn inadequate torque limit during the homing processmay result in damage to mechanics.The servo drive is considered as blocked if the actual speed falls below the Homing blocking window velocity for thespecified Homing blocking window time (see chapter 7.13.6 Parameter 52-45 to 52-48: Additional Homing objects (0x2040)) andthe torque limit is reached (see chapter 7.5.12 Parameter: Maximum Torque (0x6072) and chapter 7.5.13 Parameters 52-15,52-23, and 52-36: Application Torque Limit (0x2053)).When the motor is blocked, the actual position is the home position. The motor then ramps down to 0 velocity using thehoming deceleration value and the successful homing procedure is reported.The differences between the 2 methods are:• Homing on negative block (–1): Motor moves with negative speed.• Homing on positive block (–2): Motor moves with positive speed.2.4.4.3 Homing on Positive/Negative Limit Switch17Negative Limit Switch130BF180.10Illustration 2.31 Homing Method 17: Homing on NegativeLimit Switch18Positive Limit Switch130BF186.10Illustration 2.32 Homing Method 18: Homing on Positive LimitSwitchHoming methods 17: Homing on negative limit switch or 18: Homing on positive limit switch can be used if a limit switch isavailable (and configured using object 0x200F, see chapter 7.21.3 Parameter: Dual Analog User Inputs Configuration (0x200F)),so that the limit switch signals the home reference point.The differences between the 2 methods are:• 17: Homing on negative limit switch: Motor moves with negative speed to reach the negative limit switch.• 18: Homing on positive limit switch: Motor moves with positive speed to reach the positive limit switch.When starting the homing procedure, the servo drive starts moving with the defined velocity value set in object 0x6099sub-index 01: Speed during search for switch (see chapter 7.13.3 Parameters 52-42 and 52-43: Homing Speeds (0x6099)). Thedirection depends on the selected method (positive or negative). As soon as a rising edge is detected on the limit switch,the motor reverses direction and ramps to the velocity set in object 0x6099 sub-index 2: Speed during search for zero (seeServo Drive Operation VLT® Integrated Servo Drive ISD® 510 System36 Danfoss A/S © 01/2017 All rights reserved.
