Initialization - Zero reference
The Calibration Sequence can be started by triggering the safety event doCalibrating. This can be done by pressing the red button until this lights up. Press and hold the red button for 2 seconds, this will trigger the Safety Event doCalibrating. When finished with calibrating, press the red button once again. Press the green button to get back in normal operation mode.
Mechanical Limits of the Axis Motors - Upper limit
L = 17.5 
B = 15   
s = 4    
The upper limit can be calculated as follows:
(1) tan(β) = sin(β)/cos(β) = (B-y)/L 
(2) cos(β) = s/y 
Substitute (2) into (1) to get: 
(3) L*sin(β)-B*cos(β)=-s 
Using following trigonometric formulas in (3): 
(4) t = tan(β/2)  
(5) sin(β) = 2*tan(β/2)/(1+tan^2(β/2)  
(6) sin(β) = (1-tan^2(β/2)/(1+tan^2(β/2)  
Leads to:
(7) (s+B)*t^2 + 2*L*t + (s-B) = 0 
Solutions are: 
 t1 = 0.2736 → β = 30.6° 
 t2 = -2.1157 (neg. solution) 
Hence, the maximum angle the axis can turn is  90° + β ≅ 120°.
