Additional Considerations

Regarding Hardware Touch Probes and Z-Pulse Homing

For the EtherCAT platform, the hardware touch probe shares the same channels as the Z-pulse used in homing. For this reason, when using a hardware touch probe while performing homing using the Z-pulse, the channels must be separated. The Z-pulse uses channel 0, so the hardware touch probe must use channel 1 (specify 1 to the channel argument when calling the SetHardwareTouchProbe function). In this case, the ENI file must be configured so that channel 1 data can be transferred.
