Page 35: End Of Travel Limit Input Interface
Installation and Configuration 2.6.3. End of Travel Limit Input Interface Aerotech strongly recommends that you use End of Travel (EOT) limits to define the end of the physical travel. Current-based limits that are software-selectable through the EndOfTravelLimitSetup axis parameter can be used, but only if EOT limits are not available on your galvo motor. Positive or clockwise motion is stopped by the clockwise (CW) end of travel limit input. -
