9.4.5  Methods 7 to 14: Homing on the home switch an
index pulse 
These methods use a home switch that is active over only a portion of the travel; in effec
the switch has a “momentary” action as the axle position sweeps past the switch. 
Using methods 7 to 10, the initial direction of movement is to the right, and using 
methods 11 to 14, the initial direction of movement is to the lef
t, 
t, except if the home 
switch is active at the start of motion. In this case, the initial direction of motion is 
dependent on the edge being sought. The home position is at the index pulse on either 
side of the rising or falling edges of the home switch, as shown in the following two 
diagrams. If the initial direction of movement leads away from the home switch, the 
drive must reverse on encountering the relevant limit switch.
