Take note of the following requirements for a loop traverse:
 If you have parameterized a loop traverse against the traverse direction to
the target, the target position which can be approached at a maximum is
located at:
– With positive traverse direction
Target < SLE - 
1
/
2
 Target range - Negative switch-off difference -
Positive switchover difference
– With negative traverse direction
Target > SLS + 
1
/
2
 Target range + Positive switch-off difference +
Positive switchover difference
 A loop traverse is not executed if the target is approached in the direction
of the loop traverse.
 If you have parameterized a loop traverse in the traverse direction to the
target, the target position which can be approached at a maximum is lo-
cated at:
– With positive traverse direction
Target < SLE - 
1
/
2
 Target range
– With negative traverse direction
Target > SLS + 
1
/
2
 Target range 
The figure below shows you the position of the fictitious target based on
positioning with loop traverse to the maximum target position in the positive
direction.
