12.4.4 Hardware stroke limit function
! DANGER
When the hardware stroke limit is required to be wired, ensure to wire it in the ne gative logic using b-contact.
If it is set in positive logic using a-contac t, a serious accident may occur.
In the "hardware stroke limit function", lim it switches are set at the upper/lower lim it of
the physical moveable range, and the control is stopped (by deceleration stop) by the
input of a signal from the limit switch. Damage t o the machine can be prevented by
stopping the control before the upper/lower limit of the physical moveable range is
reached.
Hardware stroke limit switches are normally i nstalled inside the stroke limit/stroke end
on the drive unit side, and the control is stopp ed before the stroke limit/stoke end on
the drive unit side is reached.
The details shown below explain about the "hard ware stroke limit function".
