1) Software upper limit / Software lower limit
This is a function which sets the available range of the movement of the machine in the way of software by setting the upper
limit & lower limit and allows the machine not to be operated beyond the set range. In other words, this is used to prevent a
breakaway due to an error from setting the operation position and false operation that occurs from the user program error.
Set the external input upper limit and lower limit beyond the range of the software upper limit and the software lower limit.
The range check of the software upper limit and lower limit is conducted at the beginning of operation and during the
operation.
If the soft upper limit and lower limit is detected, an error occurs and the module suddenly stops a motor. Therefore, check
the cause of the error and use it after resetting the error when restarting the operation.
If you set the software upper limit and lower limit to be the initial value (upper limit: 2,147,483,647, lower limit: -2,147,483,648)
or the same value, the soft upper limit and lower limit is not be detected.
2) Infinite running repeat position
When using in infinite running repeat mode, set the position value which is repeated.
This is applied when the setting of extended parameter, 「Infinite running repeat」parameter, is ‘1:Enable’.
When the 「Infinite running repeat」 parameter is ‘1:Enable’, the command position and current position is indicated as "0~
(infinite running repeat position of -1). (「Unit」= 0: pulse based)
3) Infinite running repeat
Set the function availability of infinite running repeat operation.
If this parameter is set to ‘1: Enable’, the display of the command position and current position is updated periodically and
automatically in the range set in the infinite length repetition position.
You must set it to ‘0: Disable’ when you are not using the infinite running repeat operation function.
