A control system and method operate to store target signals indicative of end of travel positions of components of a machine. The positions and velocities of the components of a machine are determined at least in part based upon signals received from sensors and command signals are generated to control movement of the components based upon input from an operator, proximate to the end of travel positions and the velocities of the components. Command signals are transmitted to control movement of the components. Multiple end of travel positions may also be defined.
