16.5 Set limit stop
You can limit the traversing range of the axes.
To do this, enter the values for the respective axes. The values refer to the workpiece
coordinate system. The limits can be switched on and off individually.
Activated, i.e. active set limits, are indicated by a bar next to the wind rose in the direction
graphic.
When a limit is reached, an alarm appears which disappears again when the axis is moved
away from the limit.
