Mechanical input signals
The following four signals can be input for each axis:
- +L (Limit +) When this signal turns ON while operating in the positive direction, the motor stops immediately, or decelerates and stops.
- -L (Limit -) When this signal turns ON while operating in the negative direction, the motor stops immediately, or decelerates and stops.
- SD (Slowdown) Used as a deceleration signal or a deceleration stop signal by a software setting.
- H (Home) Input signal for a Homing operation.
The input logic for these signals can be changed with software.
The Commander also has a soft-limit function. The Soft-limits can be used in a system where physical limits are impossible or for setting operation limits within the allowable mechanical stroke limits.
