The Index.#.Initiate destination is used to initiate the specific index. The Index is initiated on
the rising edge of this function. An Index cannot be initiated if there is an Home, Jog, or
Program in progress, or if the Stop destination or if a travel limit is active. It can be activated
from an assignment or from a program.

Limit Distance Hit

This source is activated when the registration sensor is not found before the Limit Distance is
traveled. If the Registration Window is enabled the sensor must be activated inside the
window to be recognized.

of the index is greater than the Index.#.PLSOnDist and less than the Index.#.PLSOffDist.
