Input Line Settings

Anaheim Automation’s LC software can test up to 8 input lines wired to limit/home switches or general safety switches (such as a door switch on a safety enclosure). You can use all 8 input lines however you choose, but all must be wired the same, either all normally open or all normally closed. If controller you are using is a model 401 then it is best if all input lines are normally open (N.O.). If your controller is model 401A, then it is best if all input lines are normally closed (N.C.). Make sure that the controller model is properly selected in the System Options dialog box. Please see the LC Hardware Guide for more hardware details including the pin layout of the input line connector.

When the LC software detects a tripped input line, it immediately stops all tool movement (without ramping). The accuracy of the tool position will most likely be lost at that point. If a limit switch has been tripped, the LC software will only allow you to jog away from the switch that was tripped. Once you move the table off the limit switch, normal operation will resume. If a safety switch is tripped, the LC software will not allow any machine movement until you clear the switch.
