#15 and 16. Reserved
This is reserved for adding other homing modes in the future.
#17 to 30. Homing mode independent of index pulse
These methods are similar to methods 1 to 14. The difference being that these Homing
modes do not require an index pulse. Homing depends solely on switching Home and
limit switches. Example: Method 19 and 20 uses a homing mode similar to methods 3
and 4 as shown below in Fig. 11.7.

This is reserved for adding other homing modes in the future.
#33 and 34. Homing mode related to index pulse
With methods 33 and 34, the positive and negative direction of homing is determined by
the index pulse it detects.

#35. Homing based on current position
Mode 35 uses the current position as the Home.
