(8) Move Joint #3 to its lower limit while pressing the brake release button, and then check
the lower limit position. Do not lower the mechanical stop too far. Otherwise, the
joint may not reach a target position.
joint may not reach a target position.
(9) Calculate the lower limit pulse value of the pulse range using the formula shown below
and set the value.
The result of the calculation is always negative because the lower limit Z coordinate
value is negative.
value is negative.
Lower limit of pulse = lower limit Z coordinate value / 25
× 4096 × 1.8
Example: When lowering the mechanical stop by 20 mm and changing the lower
limit Z coordinate value to “-130” in 150 mm stroke
(-130) / 25 × 4096 ×1.8= -38339
(-130) / 25 × 4096 ×1.8= -38339

(10) Using the Pulse command (Go Pulse command), move Joint #3 to the lower limit
position of the pulse range at low speed. If the mechanical stop range is less than
the pulse range, Joint #3 will hit the mechanical stop and an error will occur. When
the error occurs, either change the pulse range to a lower setting or extend the position
of the mechanical stop within the limit.
