AN-315 EtherCAT setup for Panasonic A5B Drive

When delivered, the Panasonic A5B has 2 features set; the Positive Over Travel Input (POT) and the Negative Over Travel input (NOT). If these are connected to limit switches then the system will work in the usual way until the limit switch is triggered. If limit switches are not connected, then the servo drive must have the POT and NOT functions disabled.
