5226; Home Limit In Unexpected State Error Message
Pathfinder

Changes made for Pathfinder 5226 controllers.

Sometimes the home limits of an axis are not used for referencing, but confirming an axis is at a physical location. This is useful for having to check axis move conflicts and especially useful for double folder machines. On double folders an axis can be moved to a location that if a different axis moved during that time it would damage the machine. So having a physical confirmation can help if an axis somehow lost its correct feedback.

One problem with this is that it shared the same axis conflict error message that the feedback check was doing. So a move could end and have another axis try to move, but the home limit turn on a split second late. This can throw off troubleshooting because it looks like everything is correct to the naked eye. To pinpoint what needs to be troubleshot the Home Limit in Unexpected State error was created. With this error it lets the user know that the home limit was not in a correct on or off state at a time another axis wanted to move.
