4.8.2.2 Fault reaction 
Via parameter 
Fault Reaction 1143, you can define the behavior of the drive when 
the hardware limit switch is reached. 
Fault Reaction 1143
Function
0 - Disabled  No evaluation of hardware limit switches. 
1 - Error-Switch-Off 
Factory setting. The drive is stopped and error mes-
sage "F1447 Pos. HW Limit Switch" or "F1448 Neg. HW 
Limit Switch" is output. 
2 - Shutdown, Error 
The drive is stopped at the current deceleration ramp
1)
and error message "F1447 Pos. HW Limit Switch" or 
"F1448 Neg. HW Limit Switch" is output. 
3 - 
Emergency-Stop, 
Error 
The drive is stopped at the current emergency ramp
2)
and error message "F1447 Pos. HW Limit Switch" or 
"F1448 Neg. HW Limit Switch" is output. 
10 - Warning 
Via parameter 
Application Warnings 273, warning mes-
sage "A 0008 HW-LIM CW" is output when the positive 
HW limit switch is reached, "A 0010 HW-LIM CCW" is 
output when the negative HW limit switch is reached. 
For parameter 
Create Appl. Warning Mask 626, "13 - 
Warning pos. HW-Limit-Switch" and "14 - Warning neg. 
HW-Limit-Switch" are available. 
1)
 Deceleration ramp: 
In JOG mode, the drive is stopped based on the values for parameters 
Decelera-
tion
1177, Ramp Fall Time 1178.
When motion blocks are processed, the drive is stopped based on the values for 
Deceleration 1206 and Ramp Fall Time 1207. 
2)
 Emergency ramp: The drive is stopped based on the value for parameter Emer-
gency ramp 
1179.
