In your case, it will happen after the axis is synchronized. If for some reason this didn't happen it can wait infinitely.

So you end up thinking that the number is the representation. - Andrej Bauer Any claims against me - based on whatever legal reason - resulting from the use of any code and/or ideas presented on this forum shall be excluded. #StayWithUkraine

Yellow highlight marks currently active/being executed block. Here is waiting for a signal specific behavior. You must open up the block to check what the condition is. It can be high level, low level, rising edge or falling edge.

How should we know when this signal go to true? We don't know you project, whe don't know the machine and the wiring of the inputs, we know not which input module is it exactly. this can only you!

Check the adress list for the other symbol "i2_HomeCutter" it can be that the second signal only defined but not used in the program. Try to rename the symbol and show if the compile give you a error, thios is the simplest way to ee where a symbol is used. Regards Christoph
