Standard control for axes

Software limit switches

Their simplest application is as axis-specific software limit switches for work space monitoring. The minimum and maximum limits defined for each axis limit the motion range of each axis.

The position of software limit switches can be defined by:

• Parameterisation in the axis configuration list P-AXIS-00177 and P-AXIS-00178 or
• directly in the NC program

We recommend that you define the workspace and protection areas within the range of software limit switches.
