text: <s>[INST] HomeInputStatus bit reporting wrong input I have a K2k drive with an auxiliary incremental encoder attached, configured (as AXIS_SERVO_DRIVE), and correctly wired (hookup tab, both marker and feedback buttons give desired results). The auxiliary encoder has its homing tab set with MODE - PASSIVE and SEQUENCE - Marker. To assist with physically setting up this encoder in the field, I'd planned to monitor the HOMEINPUTSTATUS bit and cause a horn to beep when detected. The servo drive to which this encoder is connected has a proximity switch connected to its home input. When the servo drive passes its home switch, both its own HOMEINPUTSTATUS bit and that of the auxiliary encoder turn on. When I turn just the encoder, I do not get a HOMEINPUTSTATUS for the encoder. We've checked the wiring; there is no connection made by us between the marker pulse of the auxiliary encoder and the home input for the drive. Can anyone explain why the HOMEINPUTSTATUS for the encoder is reporting the drive's input, rather than the marker pulse as it is supposedly configured with? [/INST] TJ, The auxiliary encoder (that is an additional one to the feedback device on the end of the servo), should be configured as feedback only. The HomeInputStatus reports the IO status of the home input at the drive connector. This is only valid for the real drive and there is only one bank of IO connectors per drive. So - try and re-configure the auxiliary encoder as feedback only.hope this helps. \\n </s>
