You have control over the servo motor (it is called step/dir interface) and you can have control over the encoder index, you just need to input it into the motion controller, the rest can be done in user macro code as I have described it.
As I said just post a video of you doing this so others can see and try to achieve the same thing, to do it how it is normally done you have to close the servo loop either in the Drive or the Control and then it is just a regular homing routine
