Latch Zone Setting Conditions
The latch zone is valid if the following conditions are met.
• Bit 4 in the OW09 setting parameter (Latch Zone Enable) is set to 1 (Enabled)
• OL2A setting parameter (Latch Zone Lower Limit Setting) ≠ OL2C setting parameter (Latch
Zone Upper Limit Setting)
If the above conditions are not met, the latch zone is not valid regardless of the position.
• Latch Zone Lower Limit < Latch Zone Upper Limit
−

• Latch Zone Lower Limit > Latch Zone Upper Limit

Infinite-length Axes and Latch Zones
When bit 0 in fixed parameter No. 1 (Axis Selection) is set to 1 (Infinite-length axis), the latch
zone setting is specified in a 32-bit coordinate system.
Therefore, as shown in the following figure, a multi-turn area of the value that is specified for
fixed parameter No. 10 (Infinite-length Axis Reset Position (POSMAX)) can be set as the latch
zone.

Precautions for Setting Latch Zones
Latch zones are implemented in a software process in the SVC Function Module. However, the
actual latching is performed by the slave SERVOPACK. Therefore, depending on the transmis-
sion cycle, reference speed, and position deviation, the actual zone may vary from the set
zone. Set a latch zone that provides some leeway.
