6-10-2  Parameters Requiring Settings
Install limit switches at both ends of the axis to prohibit the Servomotor from driving in the direction 
specified by the switch. This can be used to prevent the workpiece from driving too far and thus prevent 
damage to the machine. Set the operation to be performed upon forward and reverse drive prohibition 
input.
Precautions for Correct UsePrecautions for Correct Use
Both signals are disabled (in a state in which drive prohibition does not operate) in the default 
settings. If prohibiting the drive input is required, set the Drive Prohibit Input Selection (Pn504) to 
either 0 or 2. The setting on the Input Signal Selection 1 to 10 (Pn400 to Pn409) can change the 
logic and allocation for the respective Input terminals (CN1 pins 1 to 8, 9, 26 to 33).

Description
0 Forward and Reverse Drive Prohibition Input function enabled
The function operates as follows when a signal is input:
 When Forward Drive Prohibition Input is shorted: Normal state in which the forward limit switch 
does not operate
 When Forward Drive Prohibition Input is open: Forward rotation prohibited and reverse rotation 
permitted
When Reverse Drive Prohibition Input is shorted: Normal state in which the reverse limit switch 
does not operate
When Reverse Drive Prohibition Input is open: Reverse rotation prohibited and forward rotation 
permitted
The Servomotor decelerates and stops according to the sequence set in Stop Selection for 
Drive Prohibition Input (Pn505). For details, refer to explanation for Stop Selection for Drive 
Prohibition Input (Pn505).
If both the Forward and the Reverse Prohibition Input signals are open, Drive Prohibition Input 
Error (Alarm No. 38.0) will occur because it is taken that Servo Drive is in error condition.
1 Forward and Reverse Drive Prohibition Input function disabled
2 Forward and Reverse Drive Prohibition Input function enabled
If either the Forward or Reverse Prohibition Input signal is open, Drive Prohibition Input Error 
(Alarm No. 38.0) will occur.
