13.2 Software Limit

13.2 Software Limit
The system is designed to mechanically set the limit (+) and limit (-) to restrict the moving
range of a motor.
Separately from the mechanical limits (+) and (-), the software limit is a function to add the
limits for the absolute coordinate managed within the positioning unit. As the software limit is a
function for the protection of the motor and AMP, it is recommended to set them to the values
within the range of the mechanical limits (+) and (-) as below.
If the operating range of the motor exceeds the setting range of the software limit (upper and
lower limit values), an error will occur, and the deceleration stop will be executed. It is
necessary to clear the error and move the motor into the range of the software limit using an
operation such as JOG operation after the stop.
Whether the software limit enabled or disabled can be specified individually for the positioning
control, JOG operation, and home return operation. For example, it is possible to disable the
limit software only in home return operation.
