If AMC Enable (41.001), Reference On (01.011) or AMC Position Feedback Initialised Flag (41.018) = 0 the Advanced Motion Controller is held in the disabled state. The parameters given in the table below are held at the values given while the motion controller is disabled.
Parameter | Value in disable state |
AMC Stop Reference (34.002) | AMC Slave Position (33.004) |
AMC Profile Input Position (38.006) if AMC Reference Select (34.007) is 4 | AMC Master Position (32.004) x Electronic gearbox ratio |
AMC Profile Input Position (38.006) if AMC Reference Select (34.007) is not 4 | AMC Slave Position (33.004) |
AMC Profile Output Position (38.008) | AMC Slave Position (33.004) |
When the motion controller is disabled the electronic gearbox is held in the unlocked state and the cam system is held at its start position.

The following diagram shows a typical configuration for the hardware and software limits.
The operating range of the Advanced Motion Controller is defined by the physical position of the hardware limit switches which are routed to Forward Limit Switch (06.035) and Reverse Limit Switch (06.036). If digital input 4 or 5 are routed to Forward Limit Switch (06.035) or Reverse Limit Switch (06.036) the maximum delay between a limit switch being reached and the motion controller taking action is 4.35ms. The software limits are configured using AMC Positive Software Limit Position (41.026) and AMC Negative Software Limit Position (41.027) and these limits are active when AMC Enable Software Limits (41.025) = 1. The software position limits can be used to define a working range which will normally be within the operating range defined by the hardware limits. Unlike the operating range the working range is flexible and can be configured for an individual motion sequence. The maximum delay for a software limit is 4ms. Note that the software limits are disabled when performing a homing routine (AMC Reference Select (34.007) = 7).
The logic diagram for the limit switches is shown below.
The hardware and software limits are active in the following conditions.
Note: When a software limit is active a hysteresis is applied to prevent the limit being disabled until the slave has moved away from the limit. This is required to prevent a small change of slave position from reactivating the limit when the slave is close to the position limit. The hysteresis applied is 4 x AMC Slave User Units Ratio Numerator (31.006) / AMC Slave User Units Ratio Denominator (31.007).
When a positive or negative limit is reached (positive transition of limit flag) AMC Stop Reference (34.002) is updated with the stop position and AMC Reference Select (34.007) is set to the stop reference. The stop mode used by the profile when a limit is reached is selected by AMC Hardware Limit Stop Mode (41.023) and AMC Software Limit Stop Mode (41.024). If AMC Hardware Limit Stop Mode (41.023) or AMC Software Limit Stop Mode (41.024) = 0 (profile) AMC Stop Reference (34.002) is set to AMC Profile Output Position (38.008) + stop position delta (position taken to reduce AMC Profile Output Speed (38.009) to zero under the constraints of the profile generator). Note that the target position for the slave will include AMC Position Error (39.008). When AMC Hardware Limit Stop Mode (41.023) or AMC Software Limit Stop Mode (41.024) = 1 (no profile) AMC Stop Reference (34.002) is set to AMC Slave Position (33.004) bringing the slave to a hard stop. If a limit is reached during a profiled stop and the stop mode for this limit is set to no profile the no profile stop will take priority and override the profile stop. When a limit is active the change of position applied to the input of the profile generator can only be in the direction that moves the slave away from the active limit. If a positive and negative limit are active no movement will be allowed.

AMC Position Feedback Initialised Flag (41.018) is set to 1 when the master and slave position accumulators have been initialised. The motion controller cannot enter the enabled state (see AMC Enable (41.001)) until this flag is set. Note that the initialisation of the master and slave feedback cannot be completed until all of the position feedback devices connected to the drive (see Position Feedback Initialized (03.076)) have been initialised and AMC Position Feedback Initialised Flag (41.018) is reset if any bit in Position Feedback Initialized (03.076) is cleared (e.g. Initialise Position Feedback (03.075) = 1).

When AMC Control Word Enable (41.021) = 0 the control word is disabled and AMC Control Word (41.019), AMC Control Word Mask (41.020) and AMC Active Control Word (41.022) are not used by the motion controller. If AMC Control Word Enable (41.021) = 1 the bits in AMC Control Word (41.019) can be used instead of the parameters listed in the table below. Note that in this mode AMC Active Control Word (41.022) is always set to AMC Control Word (41.019) and bit 15 in the control word is ignored.

15 | Control word valid |
Note that bits 4 and 5 are only used when the corresponding selector (AMC Home Positive Limit Selector (40.015) or AMC Home Negative Limit Selector (40.016)) is set to zero.
Each bit in the control word can be enabled or disabled independently by selecting or deselecting the corresponding bits in AMC Control Word Mask (41.020). None of the parameters in the table above have any effect when the control word is enabled unless the corresponding bit in the control word is disabled by the mask.
When AMC Control Word Enable (41.021) = 2 and a valid control word is written to AMC Control Word (41.019) (bit 15 = 1) the control word is copied to AMC Active Control Word (41.022) and the motion controller uses the control word to control the motion. If the control word is invalid (bit 15 = 0) the motion controller will continue to use the control word in AMC Active Control Word (41.022) until another valid control word is written to AMC Control Word (41.019). If the control word is being used to enable absolute mode then AMC Control Word Enable (41.021) should always be set to mode 2 otherwise the home position with rollover enabled will not be correct when the drive is power cycled.
