Subtoutine to override limits was created by grandixximo
Is it possible to write a subroutine to move out of limits?
I'm writing a subroutine for automatic tool change, and for safety reason i would like the whole tool change to be outside of the working limits of the machine, but the subroutine for ATC has to be able to move the machine out of limits, is it possible?

I think this might need to go to the mailing list.

Couldn't this be done with a HAL component that just disconnects limit signals from their target, using an "and2" as a switch maybe?

No, because EMC2 actively avoids hitting the limit switches once it is homed.
However, that might be part of the solution, you could easily protect the toolchanger area with a limit switch, active only when toolchange is not active. The problem would be that, unlike a normal limit switch, it would be possible to jog onto it.

And I guess there is no way of dynamically changing the axis travel length during this procedure? Not an elegant solution even if it can be done, though.
