Reading Encoder Z channel through NX-EC0142 - NJ SYSMAC Studio

[jurizato]

Hello All. I'm building a system with 5 servo motors and 2 inverters. For each inverter I have an encoder to read the real position. These encoders are read using a NX-EC0142. I can read the position without troubles, but I have to build a homing procedure also to these encoder type axis. Everything works fine, but I have to read the Z channel of the both encoders to know the exact moment that they are "on home". This is the problem! I can't found a solution to put the Z channel in a variable to be read and used in the homing routines. Had someone an ideia or had one sample program? Many thanks in advance.

If you use the built in homing methods, you don't need the Z pulse as a variable, as it's part of the configuration of the axis. Are you setting this up as a motion axis and using motion function blocks?
