688 HEIDENHAIN Technical Manual MANUALplus 620
6.7 Traverse Ranges
The parameter object CfgPositionLimits is not required for:
Virtual axes (MP_axisMode = Virtual)
Axes that are only for display (MP_axisMode=Display)
Define the software limit switches in the parameter object
CfgPositionLimits:
The datum is the machine datum (MP_refPosition).
If the geometry detects that a software limit switch will be traversed, the
traverse path concerned will not be executed and an error message will be
displayed.
If a software limit switch is traversed, the MANUALplus 620 stops the
corresponding axis and displays an error message. The axis can be retracted
in the opposite direction, however.
On milling controls, the software limit switches can usually be overwritten
from the NC program (see below).
On lathe controls, the software limit switches can only be overwritten from
the PLC.
Limit-switch monitoring can be deactivated by entering 0 for positive and
negative limit values.
