Doubt about direction of rotation in homing.

I'm doing tests here, my plate is CNC3AX, based on L297.
Everything is working, running the engines, reading Home position sensors.
For example, I select in Linuxcnc to do the homing of the x axis, the machine can be in position 10 or -10, when homing, the motor always turns to the same side, in the case clockwise. However, it should rotate clockwise to do homing from position 10 and it should rotate counterclockwise to perform homing from position -10.
How to fix? What should I do?
I looked for this information here in the forum and in the links that describe the operation, but I didn't find it.
Thank you.

Your home switch must toggle - true on one side of the trip point false on the other.
Then the home switch can tell linuxcnc which side of the trip point the axis is and hence the home direction.

Hi friend, thanks for the answer, I ended up finding how to solve. Just put - (negative sign), at the homing speed, which makes the inverter the direction of rotation of the motor.
For example, homing speed 10, it rotates clockwise. Homing speed -10, it rotates counterclockwise.
Thank you.

Yes if you just want to changexsearch direction then negate the search rate.
I thought you meant your home switch was in the middle of the travel and would need to search both directions.
