find reference reverse direction

[Paul567]

I have a simple motion application that I am trying to troubleshoot.

I am moving my motor from the home position to the user specified target position in the forward direction. I then want to return back to home (in the reverse direction). However, whenever I use find reference.flx to find home, it only wants to move in the forward direction.

How can I get find reference.flx to find home in the reverse direction.

Paul,

you can define the initial search direction and all other parameters for a reference move with Load Reference Parameter.flx.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the reply Jochen!

Just so that I understand correctly, would I have to wire Find Reference.flx after the Load Reference Parameter.flx?

And, using Load Reference Parameter.flx could I load multiple parameters? (Example: Could I select the Inital Search Direction and the Edge To Stop On?)

[Jochen]

Exactlly. With Load Reference Parameter.flx you can configure the behavior of the subsequent reference move and you can chain multiple calls of this function in order to configure multiple parameters.

Excelent!

Thank you very much for your time.
