Detailed Description 
  2.1 Motion monitoring functions 
Axis Monitoring, Protection Zones (A3) 
Function Manual, 08/2005 Edition, 6FC5397-0BP10-0BA0 
2-3 
Effectivity 
The following error monitoring only operates with activated position control for: 
•  Linear axes with and without feedforward control 
•  Rotary axes with and without feedforward control 
•  Position-controlled spindles 
Fault case 
In case of a fault after exceeding of the configured tolerance limit, the following occurs: 
•  Alarm: "25050 Axis <
Axis identifier
> Contour monitoring" 
•  The affected axis is stopped via the configured braking ramp in follow-up mode: 
MD36610 $MA_AX_EMERGENCY_STOP_TIME 
(Time for braking ramp when an error occurs)  
•  If the axis/spindle is involved in interpolation with other axes/spindles, these are brought 
to a standstill with rapid stop (set velocity = 0). 
2.1.3  Positioning monitoring 
Function 
At the end of a positioning operation: 
•  Set velocity == 0 AND 
•  DB31, ... DBX64.6 / 64.7 == 0 (traverse command minus / plus) 
checks the positioning monitoring that the following error of every participating machine axis 
is smaller than the exact stop fine tolerance during the delay time. 
•  MD36010 $MA_STOP_LIMIT_FINE (exact stop fine)  
•  MD36020 $MA_POSITIONING_TIME (delay time exact stop fine)  
 
 
 
Note 
The smaller the exact stop fine tolerance is, the longer the positioning operation takes 
and the longer the time until block change.
