Suppress software limit switch monitoring on command value side (P-CHAN-00459)

P-CHAN-00459

Suppress the software limit switch monitor on the command value side

Description

This parameter suppresses software limit switch monitoring for individual axes in the channel on the command value side.

The (cross-channel) monitoring mechanisms of axes in the position controller, such as the monitoring of software limit switches and axis collisions on the command value and actual value sides, are not affected.

If monitoring is suppressed for a single axis in the channel, the index for this axis in the channel must be set bit-coded in P-CHAN-00459.

The function is a property of the channel axes.

Parameter

suppress_soft_limit_monitoring_axes

Data type

UNS32

Data range

0x0..0xFFFFFFFF

Dimension

----

Default value

0

Remarks

0: SLS monitoring is active for all axes in the channel; active SLS’es limit the offset limits in manual mode (default).

!=0: The following applies to the selected axes in the channel:

  • The SLS monitor is inactive.
  • Offset limit monitoring in manual mode remains active; active SLS’es do not affect manual mode offset limits.
  • The monitoring mechanisms of assigned axes in the position controller remain active.

 

Parameterisation example: SLS monitoring of axes 1 to 3 of the channel inactive.

Application example - Deactivate SLS monitoring

With an axis coupling via PLC, source axes are used and operated in coupling mode 1(HLI_AXIS_COUPLING_ZERO).

If the software limit switch monitor for these axes is suppressed by P-CHAN-00459 , the monitoring of software limit switches and axis collisions on the actual value sides stored in the axis parameters remain active for each axis in the position controller.

For these axes, the manual mode offset limits to be monitored are specified by CNC objects (manual cmd.abs.limit-, manual cmd.abs.limit+). These manual mode offset limit settings may also be outside the parameterised software limit switches (P-AXIS-00177/ P-AXIS-00178) and consequently limit only the motion path of source axes.
