To quote the a300-605R flight manual:
"2 independant rudder limiting systems controlled by the FLC, progressivly decrease the maximum rudder travel from +/- 30 below 165kt to +/- 3.5 above 310kts. If both systems fail, whatever the aircraft speed, the mechanism returns to the low speed position( +/- 30 rudder travel available).
If the system does not return to the low speed position, an ECAM warning (indicating the rudder travel system is jammed in the high speed range) is activated when flaps are at 20 or more."

don't know if that answers your question.
