Configuring the limit switch

Software end position monitoring

The TwinCAT NC can be used to set software end position monitoring for the EL72x1-xxxx to ensure the safety of the system. The axis does not move beyond the set position (maximum/minimum end position). End position monitoring can be activated in the Parameter tab for the corresponding axis.

Limit switch

It is not possible to connect a limit switch directly to the terminal for direct evaluation. Alternatively, the limit switch can be read via a digital input terminal, or the software end position monitoring can be used.
