PosSoftOvertravelFault

Applies to: Servo and Servo Drive axes.
PosSoftOvertravelFault is a Boolean attribute that is set when the axis has traveled, or attempted to travel, beyond the setting for Maximum Positive Soft Travel Limit set in the Limits tab of a Servo axis properties dialog box or in the Limits tab of a Servo Drive axis properties dialog box.
This fault is a recoverable condition.
To clear a PosSoftOvertravelFault:
  1. Restore the axis back within its normal operation limits, either manually or with planners. As soon as the axis is returned back within these travel limits, the Positive Software Overtravel Fault is cleared.
  2. Be sure your program or fault handling routine contains either a:
    • Fault Reset (MAFR) instruction, to clear all motion faults for an axis, or
    • Shutdown Reset (MASR or MGSR) instruction to return to the axis ready operating state.
The occurrence of a PosSoftOvertravelFault sets bit #0 of the respective DriveFault or ServoFault attribute, the PhysicalAxisFault attribute, and bit #0 of the AxisFault attribute.
