Operation
7.3.2 Overtravel
The overtravel limit function forces movable machine parts to stop if they exceed the allowable range of
motion and turn ON a limit switch.
For rotating application such as disc table and conveyor, overtravel function is not necessary. In such a case,
no wiring for overtravel input signals is required.
(1) Signal Setting
Rotation in the opposite direction is possible during overtravel by inputting the reference.
CAUTION
• Installing limit switches
For machines that move using linear motion, connect limit switches to P-OT and N-OT of CN1 as shown below to
prevent machine damage. To prevent a contact fault or disconnection from causing accidents, make sure that the limit
switches are normally closed.
• Axes to which external force is applied in overtravel
Vertical axes:
Occurrence of overtravel may cause a workpiece to fall, because the /BK signal is on, that is when the brake is
released. Set the parameter (Pn001 = n.1) to bring the servomotor to zero clamp state after stopping to prevent
a workpiece from falling.
Other axes to which external force is applied:
Overtravel will bring about a baseblock state after the servomotor stops, which may cause the servomotor to be
pushed back by the load’s external force. To prevent this, set the parameter (Pn001 = n.1) to bring the servo-
motor to zero clamp state after stopping.
For details on how to set the parameter, refer to (3) Servomotor Stopping Method When Overtravel is Used.
