We are using absolute encoder on the axis.
The thing is, and it is not a bug, it's a feature ļ
When using Absolute encoding if you are sending the command MAH (Motion Axis Home), while the drive is disabled, then the Zero point is being reset to the present position. Usually, to set a position we are using command MRP (Motion Redefine Position), but for some reason, only in absolute encoding, that is the case.
My question is WHY?? If there anyone out there who can explain to me why was it needed? Why we need another command to do the same thing? Why we have a command that can do 2 different things, while one of them is crucial for the operation.
I was asked by the customer, but could not give an answer!!
Thank you all.
