FL

FUNCTION: Forward Software Limit

DESCRIPTION:

The FL command sets the forward software position limit. If this limit is exceeded during

motion, the motor will decelerate to a stop. Forward motion beyond this limit is not

permitted. The forward limit is activated at position n + 1. The forward limit is disabled

at position 2147483647. The units are in counts.

When the forward software limit is activated, the automatic subroutine #LIMSWI will be

executed if it is included in the program and the program is executing. See section on

Automatic Subroutines in the user manual.

ARGUMENTS: FL n where

n is a signed integer in the range -2147483648 to 2147483647

2147483647 turns off the forward limit

“?” returns the value of the forward limit switch
