5.03 Drive Ready Input. Enables or disables the Drive Ready input for Analog Servos. This
configuration item is ignored for a Digital Servo or Auxiliary axis, If the Drive Ready
input is enabled, the Drive Ready faceplate input signal (IN4) must be turned on (set
to 0v) within 1 second after the Enable Drive %Q bit is turned on. If the Drive Ready
faceplate input is turned off while the Drive Enabled %I bit is on, error code C0h will
be reported and the axis will stop. The Drive Ready Input configuration should be set
to Disabled for Analog Servos that do not provide a compatible Drive Ready output
signal.
5.04 High Position Limit. (User Units). When moving in the positive direction, the Actual
Position will roll over to the low limit when this value is reached. The Position Limits
can be used for continuous rotary applications when the Software End of Travel
configuration is set to Disabled. The High Position Limit should always be set one
User Unit smaller than the desired cycle. For example, a 360° machine would have a
High Position Limit setting of 359. At the next count past 359, the count would roll
over to the value set in the Low Position Limit parameter (0 in this example). For
proper operation, the rollover modulus (High Position Limit - Low Position Limit +1)
must always be greater than the distance traveled by the axis in one position loop
sample time (normally 2 ms). See Appendix C for considerations when using an
absolute mode encoder. Default: 8,388,607.
5.05 Low Position Limit. Low Pos Limit (User Units). When moving in the negative
direction, the Actual Position will roll over to the high limit when this value is
reached. . The Position Limits can be used for continuous rotary applications when
the Software End of Travel configuration is set to Disabled. For proper operation, the
rollover modulus (High Position Limit - Low Position Limit +1) must always be
greater than the distance traveled by the axis in one position loop sample time
(normally 2 ms). See Appendix C for considerations when using an absolute mode
encoder. Default: - 8,388,608.
5.06 High Software EOT Limit. High Software End of Travel Limit (User Units). If the limit
is enabled and the DSM314 is programmed to go to a position greater than the High
Software EOT value, an error will result and the DSM314 will not allow axis motion.
If the Follower control loop is enabled, the High Software EOT Limit is ignored for
slave axis motion resulting from master axis commands. The limit only applies to
slave axis motion resulting from internally generated jog and motion program
commands. The limit is always ignored for Move at Velocity %AQ commands.
Default: +8,388,607.
In Analog or Digital Servo modes, the High Software EOT limit is used only when the
Software End of Travel configuration is set to Enabled. If the High Software EOT Limit
is enabled and its value is more positive than the High Position Limit, the High
Software EOT Limit will internally be set equal to the High Position Limit. Axis error
code 17h will also be reported, indicating that the limit has been adjusted. The High
Software EOT Limit is ignored for Jog commands if the Position Valid %I bit is off.
In Auxiliary Axis mode, the High Software EOT limit has separate purposes
depending on the setting for Software End of Travel:
