Can you help me understand the differences between the following three different homing methods? Examples would be very helpful for a novice like me. I'm referring to servo setup using Kinetix6500 & Rslogix 5K. The underlined part is from AB literatures. Following are my questions.
1) Active homing mode with immediate sequence: This sequence sets the axis position to the Home Position without moving the axis.
The current axis position becomes the home position then?
2) Passive homing mode with immediate sequence: The controller immediately assigns the Home Position to the current axis actual position.
Isn't it exactly the same as Active/immediate homing?
3) Absolute homing mode with immediate sequence: It establishes the true absolute position of the axis by applying the configured Home Position to the reported position of the absolute feedback device.
So, the current position becomes the offset to the designated absolute home position?
