Rotate Limits

The Rotate motor is equipped with an absolute encoder. The system 
should be configured with software limits appropriate to the install site. 

To prevent improper motion outside the software limits mechanical 
switches are provided. Fit the stop bolts into the most appropriate tapped 
holes for each direction of rotation. The closest bolt outside the software 
limit is to be used to catch any unexpected loss of control.
