AXIS#.SWLS.EN

Description

This parameter enables the software travel limit switches.


  • The software limit switches are only active if the axis is homed.

Examples

Usage

0: Disable both software limit switches

1: Enable software limit switch 0, AXIS#.SWLS.LIMIT0

2: Enable software limit switch 1, AXIS#.SWLS.LIMIT1

3: Enable both software limit switches

 

If AXIS#.SWLS.EN = 3, then whichever limit switch is set to a greater value will be used as the upper limit switch. For all other values of AXIS#.SWLS.EN, use AXIS#.SWLS.LIMIT0 for the lower limit switch and AXIS#.SWLS.LIMIT1 for the upper limit switch.

Code

Axis 1 lower limit switch set to 1000 and upper limit switch set to 5000. Axis 1 home position is set and then both software limit switches are enabled. 

-->AXIS1.SWLS.LIMIT0 1000

-->AXIS1.SWLS.LIMIT1 5000

-->AXIS1.HOME.SET
