Description:
It is possible to attach limit values to analog input channels such that if those limits are exceeded, a
motion error is generated. Analog channels can be associated with one or more axes and an axis can
have multiple analog channels associated with it.
The
ADCMIN keyword sets the lower limit value for an analog channel to a percentage of its maximum
value. The value must also be less than then upper limit value set with
ADCMAX. The limit value cannot
be set on an analog channel that is configured as off.
In order for an analog channel to generate a motion error, it must be attached to an axis. This is done
with the
ADCMONITOR keyword. If the analog value then exceeds the upper or lower limit, a motion
error is generated on that axis and all other axes that are monitoring that analog channel.
In the event of a motion error, the axis is crash stopped and the drive and enable relay disabled. The
user defined error handler, #ONERROR, will be called if it is defined.
The
ADCERROR keyword can be used to see which analog channels have caused an analog motion error
on an axis.

Description:
It is possible to attach limit values to analog input channels such that if those limits are exceeded, a
motion error is generated. Analog channels can be associated with one or more axes and an axis can
have multiple analog channels associated with it.
If an channel being monitored exceeds either its upper or lower limit value, a motion error will be
generated. The action taken in the event of an error being generated depends on the
ADCERRORMODE,
but by default the axis will be crash stopped and the drive disabled. The user defined error handler,
#ONERROR, will be called if it is defined.
