Decision criteria
System limits and exclusion criteria
They result from the non-compliance with the decision criteria.
 Compared to systems with speed feedback, the positiong and repeat accuracy is 
reduced. 
 Due to the mechanical hardware limit switches, this concept is only applicable for 
systems with only a few fixed positions. Changing the target position during the 
operation or the teaching is not possible.
 If necessary, additional functions like manual jog or homing must be realised 
externally, e.g. via a control.
 As 8400 HighLine 8400 HighLine controller does not meet safety-related functions 
except STO (Safe Torque Off), you must observe that all safety-related aspects are 
realised by the plant constructor.
 Especially in the case of an outdoor use or in wet areas, you must consider the 
corresponding discharge currents when operated with a fault current circuit breaker.
 A table positioning or sequential positioning control is required for highly dynamic 
applications and jerk-free traversing profiles which is available with the "HighLine" 
device version.

Alternatively for large breakaway torques: Use of a sensorless vector control 
(only applicable for horizontal movements).
Limit switch evaluation One limit switch is required per 
direction of movement. When the 
limit switch is reached, the drive is 
brought to a standstill leaded by the 
deceleration ramp or the QSP ramp.
Per direction of movement, one
limit switch and one initiator
is required for fast/slow changeover. 
When this initiator is reached, the 
speed of the
drive is reduced to a creeping speed 
(selected jog value). When the limit 
switch is reached, the drive is 
brought to a standstill leaded by the 
deceleration ramp or the QSP ramp.
Positioning accuracy at the motor 
shaft
The positioning accuracy of the load
depends e.g. on the selected 
mechanics by clearance and friction 
and must be determined 
individually.
The ideal case is 5-10° at the motor 
shaft.
Consider the influence of the motor 
temperature.
In the case of a constant load, you can 
assume a good repeat accuracy 
during positionig. In the case of 
variable loads, you must take 
significant deviations into account.
5-10° at the motor shaft. As the 
positioning is executed in a creeping 
speed, a good repeat accuracy is 
reached even for variable loads.

Typical applications Switch-off positioning with constant 
load, e.g. travelling drive, roll-up 
door.
Switch-off positioning with variable 
load, e.g. travelling drive, conveying 
belt, hoists approaching a stop
