ModeHoming in MotionInterface

[FilipK]

Hello everyone,

I've got a short question about homing procedure in MotionInterface - when command "ModeHoming" will be available in MotionInterface? I read this POST about homing procedure but it is about PLCOpen and I want to use MotionInterface so the answer didn't satisfy me.

This mode is available on XM PLCs with command:

• arAxisCtrl_gb[AxisZ.AxisNo].Admin._OpMode.en := ModeHoming;

and is working great and I want to use it also on CtrlX.

we don't get this motion interface function with the release RM 21.11.

maybe RM 22.03.

As long as ModeHoming is not available, you can help yourself with a user defined operating mode.

This is described here in the online help:
https://docs.automation.boschrexroth.com/document/version/01/ctrlX-PLC-Engineering_-PLC-Libraries_-R...

ctrlX PLC Engineering, PLC Libraries, Reference Book --> CXA_MotionInterface --> AxisInterface --> AxisInterface - User extension --> Using the user-defined operation mode

Just use the MC_Home (when it is avalaible) in the method mUserModes.

Your command will then be:

arAxisCtrl_gb[AxisZ.AxisNo].Admin._OpMode.en := ModeXx_User_0;

Hth,

Klaus
