DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The SLD command is used to disable the software limits. The limits are enabled using the SLE
command.
As an alternative to hardware limits connected to the limit inputs of the SmartMotor™,
software limits are "virtual" limit switches that offer distinct advantages. For example, in the
event the actual position of the motor strays beyond the desired region of operation, software
limits can interrupt motion with a fault. Further, the limit fault is directionally sensitive, so it
will cause a fault if motion is commanded beyond a limit that has been reached. For more
details, see Limits and Fault Handling on page 204.
