If it is anything like my Dyna is. It just rotates as Mac says except that when backing up it stalls the stepper (no harm done) and the tool location is achieved.
Though switches can be used for verification, homing etc. It is not needed as long as the tool in the holder is verified at startup.
My Dyna has a 6 tool changer. This is the macro.
