8.4 Limit protection
8.4.1 Hardware limit protection
D1-N servo drive supports hardware limit protection. Hardware limit usually means the photoelectric
switch or micro switch installed on positioning platform to specify travel distance. Hardware limit switch is
usually a normally-closed sensor. When hardware limit switch is triggered, the servo drive decelerates the
motor by the value set for emergency stop (Dec. kill). At this time, the servo drive only accepts motion
command for moving the motor towards the opposite direction.
