Page 5 section 5.1
5.1. Home Switch test. The machine home test starts by checking the values stored
in the plus/minus home switch fields in the Machine Configuration – Motor
screen.
There are two checks made before the test begins. The program first checks the
“Machine home at pwrup” setting in the Control Configuration. If set to “Jog”
the test is skipped and a warning is logged in systest.out. In most cases it should
be set to “Home switch” or “Ref Marks - HS”. The second check looks for any
axis that has at least one home switch input defined except for, rotary configured
axes or axes with an “M”, “N”, or “S” label. Reference Mark homing will have
both plus/minus home switches set to zero. So any axes that fail this check will
generate a warning in the systest.out file.
