Sinamics S120: HOMING(Absolute Encoder Adjustment)

Homing

HOMING (Absolute Encoder Adjustment)

Note: Doing this process will make your actual position as home position make sure your machine is at home position or beware of mechanical position.

·         Select SERVO_02 -> Technology -> Basic Positioner --> Homing -> Homing/configuration (right side window) -> Homing.

·         Before doing homing your actual value will be different.

·         Click Perform absolute value calibration (Before doing this make machine position in home position, then make homing)

·         After done Homing, it will ask to save the value (Copy RAM TO ROM). And actual value will go 0 value.

·         You can see this when doing RAM TO ROM option. Saving all the data in the Permanent memory.

·         Here you can see the actual position value is 0 and Homed status bit is enabled (After done homing procedure).
