AXIS#.SWLS.LIMIT#

Description

Sets the position value for a software limit switch, LIMIT0 or LIMIT1.

Examples

Usage

If only one limit switch is enabled, AXIS#.SWLS.EN = 1 or 2, then AXIS#.SWLS.LIMIT0 is the lower limit and AXIS#.SWLS.LIMIT1 is the upper limit.

If both limit switches are enabled, AXIS#.SWLS.EN = 3, then whichever switch is set to a larger value is the upper limit switch and the other switch is the lower 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
-->AXIS1.SWLS.EN 3

A PDO contains one or more object dictionary entries, which define the application data transferred between devices. Mappable
EtherCATClosed***EtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs COE and CANopen AXIS1.SWLS.LIMIT0 0x500F 0x3 DINT - Position RW False
