An end position is a position in the direction of motion of a machine component where
motion stops as a result of the inherent mechanical design. A limit switch is a sensor that
signals that the end position has been reached.
The end position control of the converter controls the motor depending on 2 limit switch
signals:
• When an end position is reached, the converter stops the motor.
• At end position, the converter prevents the motor from moving the machine component
further in the direction of this end position.
