Limit switches
Limit switch inputs
Corvus-eco provides 2 limit switch inputs for each axis.
The inputs are situated at the motor connector. The switch in-
puts are de
signated due to their function as cal limit switch
input or as rm limit switch input.
The limit switch function is directly li
nked to these inputs; no
other function can be assigned to them.
Limit switch functions
Following limit switch functions are available:
• teach-in of lower limit switches
(Venus-1 command cal)
The controller moves all axes simultaneously in negative
direction until the cal limit sw
itches are reached.
• teach-in of upper limit switches
(Venus-1 command rm)
The controller moves all axes simultaneously in positive
direction until the rm limi
t switches are reached.
• teach-in the limits of a single axis
The controller moves a selected axis to the cal or rm limit
switch. Details see chapter "Functions"
