Description

The Load Cell Overflow Limit and Load Cell Underflow Limit define the valid range of the Millivolt/Volt load cell input. If the Millivolt/Volt value is outside of this range, the Transducer Overflow bit will be set. If the Transducer Overflow error bit is set, a Halt will occur if the Transducer Overflow Auto Stop is configured to do so and the Direct Output Status bit is off.

If the feedback is exceeding the valid range due to acceptable noise, you can expand the range with these parameters.

The Load Cell Overflow Limit and Load Cell Underflow Limit may be set to values that will properly indicate an error if the load cell output indicates an unacceptably large load is being applied. Note that the Positive and Negative Force Limits do not have a corresponding error bit, so setting the Load Cell Overflow Limit and Load Cell Underflow Limit is a more certain method of halting the axis in the event of an unacceptably large load.
