Zones can be set in the Zone Parameters in the System Parameters so that a
Zone Flag will be turned ON in the CPU Unit when the motor is within a zone.
Refer to Zone Parameters on page 167 for details.
First, the zones are set in the System Parameters and then the ladder pro-
gram is written to stop the motor when a Zone Flag turns ON. In the following
example, the X-axis and Y-axis Zone Flags are monitored in the ladder dia-
gram. If both flags are ON at the same time, the CPU Unit uses an external
output to activate a dynamic brake and stop motion.
