When the controller is switched on, the axes can be traversed right up to the limits of the
machine as the reference points have not ye
t been approached and the axes referenced.
Emergency limit switches might be triggered as a result.
The software limit switches and the working area limitation are not yet operative!
The feed enable signal must be set.
