Input Line Settings
Anaheim Automation’s LC software can test up to 8 input lines wired to
limit/home switches or general safety switches (such as a door switch on a safety
enclosure). You can use all 8 input lines however you choose, but all must be
wired the same, either all normally open or all normally closed. If controller you
are using is a model 401 then it is best if all input lines are normally open (N.O.).
If your controller is model 401A, then it is best if all input lines are normally
closed (N.C.). Make sure that the controller model is properly selected in the
System Options dialog box. Please see the LC Hardware Guide for more
hardware details including the pin layout of the input line connector.
When the LC software detects a tripped input line, it immediately stops all tool
movement (without ramping). The accuracy of the tool position will most likely
be lost at that point. If a limit switch has been tripped, the LC software will only
allow you to jog away from the switch that was tripped. Once you move the table
off the limit switch, normal operation will resume. If a safety switch is tripped,
the LC software will not allow any machine movement until you clear the switch.

pull-down menu. For example, if the line is wired to a limit switch on the
negative end of the X axis, choose X-. If the line is wired to a general-
