Detailed Description   
2.3 Monitoring of static limits 
  Axis Monitoring, Protection Zones (A3) 
2-26  Function Manual, 08/2005 Edition, 6FC5397-0BP10-0BA0 
Working area limitation and tool data 
For traversing motions with an active tool, not only the position of the axis but also the 
position of the tool tip P is monitored. 
Consideration of the tool radius must be activated separately: 
MD21020 $MC_WORKAREA_WITH_TOOL_RADIUS 
(Consideration of the tool radius in the working area limitation)

Effectivity 
•  Immediately after the successful referencing of the machine axis. 
•  In all operating modes. 
Activation 
Working area limitation via setting data 
The activation/deactivation of the working area limitation takes place direction-specifically via 
the immediately effective setting data: 
•  SD43400 $SA_WORKAREA_PLUS_ENABLE 
•  SD43410 $SA_WORKAREA_MINUS_ENABLE
