5.2.4 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.
(1) Signal Setting
Movement 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
r
eleased. 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.

When the servomotor stops due to overtravel during position control, the position errors
are held. A clear signal (CLR) input is required to clear the error pulses.
For the clear signal, refer to 5.4.2 Clear Signal Setting.
