|Description=<translate>How to measure the Zero pulse position relative to home switch position to determine if a motor needs mechanically rotating</translate>

{{Introduction
|Introduction=<translate>= Problem =
If the zero pulse position is very close to the the home switch position, a common fault can occur where the axis datum moves out of position by one rotation. 

This manifests itself as a Y/Z axis being 5 / 10mm out or a gripper around 32mm out

The problem is easy to solve once detected, by either moving the home switch flag, or rotating the motor by one quarter turn.

However, this means the fault has to happen before detection.

This tutorial describes how to predict if this will be a problem, so the corrective action can be taken before it creates the issue</translate>

Reference Mode


Check which system the axis is using

'''PLC''' - This method uses just the home switch for zero. Fine for low accuracy axes (GY, GZ). The Zero pulse offset will not affect this mode, so STOP HERE.

'''Software Sync'''- This method uses the home switch then zero pulse seek. Better for higher accuracy, but opens the risk of this problem

'''Default''' - This is not a good setting because it is not clear which mode. It is a good idea to change this to Software Sync to ensure the best possible datuming method is maintained.

This is 1,048,676 divided by axis scaling factor.


Example - Y axis 

1048576 / 104857.6 = 10mm per turn

}}
{{Tuto Step
|Step_Title=<translate>Analyse results</translate>
|Step_Content=<translate>An ideal distance would be equivalent to one half turn (eg for a 10mm pitch leadscrew, the ideal would be 5mm, so the axis has to rotate one half turn.


As a rule of thumb, 

* if the difference in distance is less than 25% of the units per turn, it is a good idea to move the datum position.
* If it is less than 10%, it is vital the position is moved.</translate>

{{Tuto Step
|Step_Title=<translate>Move datum flag position</translate>
|Step_Content=<translate>Datum position can be moved by

* Moving the flag position (if possible). Depends on the mechanical setup of the system
* Turning the motor by 90 or 180 degrees. Not always possible due to the cable inlet. 
{{Warning|...Take note if rotating the motor that the zero pulse actually moves in the correct direction. There is a 50 / 50 change it will move the wrong way!}}<br /></translate>
