12.4.4 Hardware stroke limit function
!
WARNING
When the hardware stroke limit is required to be wired, ensure to wire it in the negative logic using b-contact.
If it is set in positive logic using a-contact, a serious accident may occur.
In the "hardware stroke limit function", limit switches are set at the upper/lower limit of
the physical moveable range, and the control is stopped (by deceleration stop) by the
input of a signal from the limit switch. Damage to the machine can be prevented by
stopping the control before the upper/lower limit of the physical moveable range is
reached.
Hardware stroke limit switches are normally "installed inside the stroke limit/stroke end
on the drive unit side", and the control is stopped before the stroke limit/stoke end on
the drive unit side is reached.
The details shown below explain about the "hardware stroke limit function".
