AC Servomotors/Servo Drives 1S-series with Built-in EtherCAT® Communications User’s Manual (I586)
When the software position limit function is enabled in Software Position Limit - Enable Selection 
(3B11-01 hex), if the present position exceeds the specified movement range, the Servo Drive stops the 
Servomotor according to the method specified in Stop Selection (3B11-02 hex).
The value set in Enable Selection (3B11-01 hex) determines the movement range as follows.
Note that the Servomotor does not stop if Max Position Limit (3B11-04 hex) is equal to or smaller than 
Min Position Limit (3B11-03 hex).
If the Servomotor stops outside the allowable operating range, commands only for the direction of the 
movement range are accepted.
Positive Software Limit (PSOT) and Negative Software Limit (NSOT) of Function Status (3000-81 hex) 
give the status regardless of the setting in Enable Selection (3B11-01 hex).

*1
*1. During deceleration means the period in which the running motor decelerates and its speed reaches 30 r/min 
or lower. Once the motor speed reaches 30 r/min or lower and the operation changes to after stopping, the 
following operation conforms to the description for the state after stopping, regardless of the motor speed.

*2. When the deceleration stop torque is used to stop the Servomotor, the operation direction may be reversed if 
the inertia is small and the operation speed is slow.

*3. If you set Stop Selection to 4, a Software Limit Exceeded (Error No. 34.1) occurs when the movement range 
is exceeded.
