# Mechanical movement distance outside the software limit switches (P-AXIS-00546)

P-AXIS-00546 | Mechanical axis motion path beyond the software limit switches (PROFIDRIVE)
Description | This parameter specifies the mechanical axis motion path beyond the software limit switches. It defines the mechanical axis motion path together with the position of the limit switches. This value is used to process an absolute encoder overflow automatically:

If the overall position calculated from the absolute position of the drive and the set position offset P-AXIS-00341 lie outside the mechanical motion range of the axis, an overflow of the absolute encoder has occurred. To compensate for this overflow, the calculated position is corrected by the value range of the absolute encoder.
