11.3.17.  Over Travel F2: Software Over Travel Limit 
 The following are two types of setting of the off limits area to the Motor.   
  Software over travel limit: The parameter sets the position data for the off limits area. .   
(Refer to “6.2.4. Software Over Travel Limit” for setting the off limits area. 
  Hardware over travel limit: Output signal from the limit sensors to the Driver unit sets the off 
limits area.   
 This warning reports that the Motor enters or passes through the off limits area set by the software travel 
limits.   
Table 11-24: Cause and remedy for the software over travel limit   
(1)    F2 alarm is produced when the over travel is occurred. 
The software over travel is detected based on the positioning command, rather than the current Motor 
position. Positioning command is equal to the sum of current position and position error. 
Therefore, if the positioning command is not within the range of software over travel detection, the F2 
alarm is not produced even the actual motor position is entered within the detection range due to the 
overshooting. 
  When you need to detect the over limit using current Motor position, the hardware over travel 
limit detection is needed. 
It is essential to place the external limit sensor. 
  The hardware over travel limit detection will occur even the Motor servo=off state. The detected 
position is actual Motor position.   
(2)  The software over travel limits OTPA and OTMA outputs the direction from which side the Motor gets in 
the limit area.
