General Mach Discussion / Soft stop at limit switches
« on: September 09, 2010, 09:19:48 AM »
Hello expert Mach users,
we had a long discussion about that at a german forum, but we did not conclude, so I'd like introduce myself with the following question:
Usually, when an end switch is triggered, Mach stops clock pulse immediately and sets status to emergency stop. Let there be a reason not to stop clock pulse immediately, being equivalent to a hit with a hammer to servo drives, but slowing down with a ramp, similar (but maybe much steeper) to that connected to the rapid move/motor tuning conditions. Is there a way to achieve that?
I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed here earlier and just my research at this board has not been accurate enough to find it.
Many greetings
Nicolas
