8. Limit Switch Output Function
With this function, the machine’s travel amount is detected by the absolute value of the ABSOCODER
sensor, and external ON/OFF signal outputs are used in place of conventional limit switches.
As shown below, the ON/OFF positions can be designated at any of the points where the ABSOCODER
sensor’s detection occurs.
(1) Up to 16 channels (channel Nos. 0 – 15) can be used for limit switch output
(2) Up to 9 programs (program Nos. 0 – 8) containing each channel’s ON/OFF data settings can be
registered. The programs to be used are then selected when operation is to occur.
(3) The program No. to be used is designated by the sequence program which writes that program No.
at the buffer memory’s I/O address (4099 [4163]) setting area.
(4) The ON/OFF settings can be designated by the sequence program.
