I'm using a Kinetix 6000 to drive a ballscrew. The axis was jogged into the maximum negative soft limit and the drive faulted. The fault action is set for "Stop Motion". We could not clear that fault (#16) or execute MSO without getting an error. We had to change the soft limit, then jog out of the over travel condition, then reset the soft limit back to the correct value.
Questions:
If the soft limit fault action is set for "Stop Motion", will that stop *all* motions in either direction until the axis is no longer beyond the limit?
If the Fault Action was set for "Status Only" would this have prevented the soft limit over travel bit from coming on?
Maybe the better question for me to ask is, in general terms, what the best practice for managing soft limits and over travel in the logic? I'll need to fix this to keep it from happening again and I'm interested in what the "right" way to do it is.
Thank you.
