Software limit switches

INFORMATION

No software limit switches must be configured for modulo axes (cycle limit not equal to "0").

Software limit switches are used to limit the travel range of an axis. Monitoring of the software limit switches can be activated and configured in the configuration menu of the software module during startup. See chapter Monitoring functions. The drive must be referenced to allow for monitoring the software limit switches.

Error messages can be reset using PO 1.8 "Fault reset". First, specify a direction of rotation or a target position in the direction of the valid range of the software limit switches. If you wish to move the drive outside the range limited by the software limit switches, you have to deactivate the software limit switches using the PO 1:12 signal.
