POINT
If the upper boundary and lower boundary of the software limit are the same
value, the software limit are invalid.
If the lower boundary of the software limit is a higher value than the upper
limit, a software limit parameter error (operation alarm A4, detail 01) occurs
upon start of operation.
Software limits are invalid when home position return has not been
completed.
Note. By the position board, the range of movement is -2147483648 to 2147483647. Movement outside
the limits is not covered with a guarantee. If software limits have been disabled, be careful not to
move it outside of the physical limits.
