Limitation by software limit switches

Software limit switch

The software limit switches are only applicable in positioning mode, and are only activated once homing has been completed successfully. They are parameterized in the "Digital inputs" subject area.


Positioning mode Function
Absolute Before enabling an absolute motion task, a check is made whether the target is in the valid range – that is, within the software limit switches. If the target is outside, no driving job is signalled and the programmed error reaction as per P 0030
P 0030 Error Reactions is executed.
Infinite (only speed-controlled) The drive travels until a software limit switch is detected. Then the programmed error reaction is executed.

Note:

The reaction on reaching a software limit switch depends on the programmed error reaction.
