Zone/Overtravel Parameters

Chapter 6

6-13

The software overtravel cannot be canceled on the control. AMP is the
only means available to activate, deactivate, and establish the range for the

software overtravel. These subsections offer a discussion of parameters

used to establish the software overtravel:

Software Overtravel Used

6-13

Positive Software Overtravel

6-14

Negative Software Overtravel

6-15

Important: Note that the software overtravel is only effective provided

that a homing operation has been conducted for that axis. If the axis has

not been homed, there is no machine coordinate system from which the

software overtravel can be referenced.

Function

This parameter is used to determine whether the software overtravel is

used for a specific machine application. Setting a value of “True” for this

parameter causes the software overtravel to be active for that axis. Setting

a value of “False” for this parameter disables the software overtravel for

that axis.
