Naming & Configuring Your Motion Axis 149
Note: The parameters on this tab become read-only and cannot be
edited when the controller is online if the controller is set to Hard Run
mode, or if a Feedback On condition exists.
When RSLogix 5000 is offline, the following parameters can be edited and the
program saved to disk using either the Save command or by clicking on the
Apply button. You must re-download the edited program to the controller
before it can be run.
Soft Travel Limits
Enables software overtravel checking for an axis when Positioning Mode is set
to Linear (in the Conversion tab of this dialog). If an axis is configured for
software overtravel limits and if that axis passes beyond these maximum travel
limits (positive or negative), a software overtravel fault is issued. The response
to this fault is specified by the Soft Overtravel setting (in the Fault Actions tab
of this dialog). Software overtravel limits are disabled during the tuning
process.
Maximum Positive
Type the maximum positive position to be used for software overtravel
checking, in position units.
Note: The Maximum Positive limit must always be greater than the
Maximum Negative limit.
Maximum Negative
Type the maximum negative position to be used for software overtravel
checking, in position units.
Note: The Maximum Negative limit must always be less than the
Maximum Positive limit.
Position Error Tolerance
Specifies how much position error the servo tolerates before issuing a position
error fault. This value is interpreted as a +/- quantity.
For example, setting Position Error Tolerance to 0.75 position units means
that a position error fault is generated whenever the position error of the axis
is greater than 0.75 or less than -0.75 position units, as shown here:
