Error "positive limit switch".
Lenze · 9300 Series
What does 152 mean?
The positive limit switch has been reached, preventing further movement of the drive in the positive direction. This is a safety mechanism to prevent overtravel.
Common Causes
- Physical actuation of the positive limit switch by the mechanical system (e.g., linear stage, robotic arm) reaching its physical travel end.
- Positive limit switch (e.g., inductive, optical, mechanical) is damaged, misaligned, or stuck in the actuated position.
- Wiring integrity issue (e.g., broken wire, short circuit) on the positive limit switch input (e.g., Digital Input 2) to the controller.
- Inverted logic configuration for the positive limit switch input (e.g., Parameter C0103 for DI2 polarity) in the drive parameters.
- False trigger of the limit switch input due to electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the signal line.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
1. Carefully move the mechanical system away from the positive limit switch to release its actuation and clear the fault.
- 2
2. Monitor the status of the positive limit switch digital input (e.g., DI2) in the drive's diagnostic display (e.g., P5-02) as the switch is manually operated.
- 3
3. Use a multimeter to verify electrical continuity of the positive limit switch circuit from the switch itself to the drive's corresponding input terminal (e.g., X1:2).
- 4
4. Review drive parameters related to positive limit switch configuration (e.g., C0102 for DI2 function, C0103 for polarity) and adjust if necessary.

5. Clean the limit switch and its mounting area, checking for any physical obstructions or misalignment causing premature activation.
