Envelope Monitoring

PME100 is configured for Machine Envelope Control (MEC) only. MEC will
warn and prevent equipment motion. MEC is achieved by interacting with the
machine's hydraulics. This allows motion to be cut to any section of equipment
that has reached a restriction but allow other sections to operate
unhindered unless they too reach the set restriction.
When setting a limit, either by entering a known value or by positioning the machine at
the desired limit, make sure any implement attached is in its least favourable position as
the system is unaware of any implement fitted unless listed in Tool Selection, see section
6.1.
PME100 monitors the highest part of the machine, but may be unaware of any
implement fitted therefore make sure any implement attached is in its least favourable
position.
