Software Limits Setup Parameters
The Software Limits Setup Parameter Group ranges from MC_4000
through MC_4019.
Setting Software Limits
Enable the software limit for the specific axis. [Default:
Off
(Disabled)]
MC_4011: X Software Limit Enable
MC_4012: Y Software Limit Enable
MC_4013: Z Software Limit Enable
MC_4014: U Software Limit Enable
You can set positive and negative software limits to restrict travel range.
Enter positive and negative software limits separately for each axis.
[Default:
0.0000
]
MC_4001: X+ Software Limit
MC_4002: Y+ Software Limit
MC_4003: Z+ Software Limit
MC_4004: U+ Software Limit
MC_4006: X- Software Limit
MC_4007: Y- Software Limit
MC_4008: Z- Software Limit
MC_4009: U- Software Limit
NOTE:
The machine must have the Machine Home function enabled to
use software limits.
Reference this physical limit to Machine Zero. If you change the Machine
Zero position, the software limits will shift accordingly.
Use the software limits in conjunction with the home limit switches and a
Homing cycle command (
G28
) to ensure that the software limits are
reliably referenced to an absolute machine position each time the CNC is
turned on.
If you do not use homing limit switches, use another method to determine
an absolute machine position (e.g., an indicator.)
