4. HOW TO USE THE POINT TABLE 
4 -  41 
 
(g)  Using a control unit of "degree" 
1)  Current position/command position address 
The current position/command position address is of ring-address type.

2)  Software limit activation/deactivation setting 
 
POINT 
 
After changing the "+" or "-" sign of an axis with the software limit activation 
setting, perform a home position return. 
When activating the software limit in an incremental system, perform a home 
position return after power-on. 
 
a) Setting range 
When the unit is set to "degree", the setting range of the software limit is from 0 degree (lower 
limit) to 359.999 degrees (upper limit). 
When you set a value other than 0 degree to 359.999 degrees in [Pr. PT15] to [Pr. PT18], the 
set value is converted as follows. (It will be clamped between 0 degree and 359.999 degrees.) 
 
Software limit value  After conversion 
360.000 degrees to 999.999 degrees  The remainder of the set value divided by 360 
-0.001 degrees to -359.999 degrees  The sum of the set value and 360 
-360.000 degrees to -999.999 degrees 
The sum of 360 and the quotient of the set 
value divided by 360 
 
b) When the software limit is enabled 
Set the software limit - ([Pr. PT17] and [Pr. PT18]) for the start position and the software limit + 
([Pr. PT15] and [Pr. PT16]) for the end position. 
The movable range is the section from - to + in the CCW direction.
