AXIS_TYPE
A linear axis is an axis with a limited physical travel range.
Physical start
A rotary axis is an axis whose travel range is not restricted by mechanical limit stops.

ENDROTAX
The value "end of rotary axis" is the highest theoretical value that the actual value can reach.
The highest theoretical value is however never displayed since it is physically the same position as the
start of the rotary axis (0).
The largest value which is displayed for a rotary axis, has the value:
End of the rotary axis [ m] – resolution [ m / pulse] . 1 [pulse]
Example: End of the rotary axis 1000 mm, resolution 1000 m/pulse
The display jumps:
With a positive direction of rotation from 999 mm to 0 mm.
With a negative direction of rotation from 0 mm to 999 mm.
Rotary axis with absolute encoders
With a rotary axis with an absolute encoder the rotary axis range (0 to end of rotary axis) must exactly
cover the range of the absolute encoder.
