End-Limit Signals PEL and MEL

cates the end limit signal is in the minus direction. The signal
names, pin numbers, and axis numbers are shown in the table

A circuit diagram is shown in the diagram below. The external limit
switch should have a contact capacity of +24V @ 8mA minimum.
Either ‘A-type’ (normal open) contact or ‘B-type’ (normal closed)
contact switches can be used. To set the active logic of the exter-
nal limit signal, please refer to the explanation of
