Checking the end switches with the reference switch test
How can I test the reference switches?
With the automatic reference switch test you can check if the axes can reach all end switches and if the end switches send signals.
During the test, all axes will travel to their end positions so that the corresponding end switches should be activated. Success or failure of the test is indicated with color indicators.
