Extend Limit

Default: Current position on power-up
Range: Valid 16-bit Position

The Extend Limit specifies the maximum requested position value that the RMC will allow as a Command Value. (When the Scale is negative, this is the minimum value.) A Command Value that exceeds this value will be set to the Extend Limit, and the Parameter Error bit in the Status word will be set. The Extend Limit is given in Position Units.

Note: The Extend Limit must be changed when the Scale or Offset parameters are changed. Extending is the direction that gives increasing Transducer Counts.

Note: On startup, the Extend Limit defaults to the current position of the axis, so new Extend and Retract Limits must be issued followed by a ’r;P’ command before the axis will move, unless different limits have been saved in the Flash.
