The process of homing an axis

The following is the process for homing an axis:

Set a digital sensor to use as a homing switch -> Configure homing mode and homing motion parameters -> Start homing -> Position is changed after homing is done

• Configure homing mode, homing motion parameters, and start homing are done in one function.
• A digital sensor is for homingSoft and homingSensor.
• For homingSlave, you need to select a homing mode provided by your EtherCAT slave first, and then start homing.
