Function of the software limit switches
Software limit switches limit the permissible range of traverse of an NC-controlled
axis in the positive or negative direction. If the software limit switches are active,
the axis is slowed down early enough to come to a standstill at the latest when
reaching the software limit switch.
If a program step contains a nominal position that is outside the permissible range
of traverse, the program step is acknowledged with an error message and the axis
is not traversed. If the actual position of the axis is outside the permissible range
of traverse, the axis can only be moved in the direction of the machine datum.
A corresponding message is displayed on the product.
