Description

ABSOLUTE

0x0001

Standard

Absolute positioning to a specified target position

RELATIVE

0x0002

Relative positioning to a calculated target position; a specified position difference is added to the current position

ENDLESS_PLUS

0x0003

Endless travel in the positive direction of rotation (direct specification of a speed)

ENDLESS_MINUS

0x0004

Endless travel in the negative direction of rotation (direct specification of a speed)

ADDITIVE

0x0006

Additive positioning to a calculated target position; a specified position difference is added to the last target position

ABSOLUTE_CHANGE

0x1001

Standard Ext.

Dynamic change of the target position during a travel command to a new absolute position

RELATIVE_CHANGE

0x1002

Dynamic change of the target position during a travel command to a new relative position (the current changing position value is used here also)

ADDITIVE_CHANGE

0x1006

Dynamic change of the target position during a travel command to a new additive position (the last target position is used here)

MODULO_SHORT

0x0105

Modulo

Modulo positioning along the shortest path to the modulo position (positive or negative), calculated by the “Modulo factor” (Index 0x8020:0E)

MODULO_SHORT_EXT

0x0115

Modulo positioning along the shortest path to the modulo position; the “Modulo tolerance window” (Index 0x8020:0F) is ignored

MODULO_PLUS

0x0205

Modulo positioning in the positive direction of rotation to the calculated modulo position

MODULO_PLUS_EXT

0x0215

Modulo positioning in the positive direction of rotation to the calculated modulo position; the "Modulo tolerance window" is ignored

MODULO_MINUS

0x0305

Modulo positioning in the negative direction of rotation to the calculated modulo position

MODULO_MINUS_EXT

0x0315

Modulo positioning in the negative direction of rotation to the calculated modulo position; the "Modulo tolerance window" is ignored

MODULO_CURRENT

0x0405

Modulo positioning in the last direction of rotation to the calculated modulo position

MODULO_CURRENT_EXT

0x0415

Modulo positioning in the last direction of rotation to the calculated modulo position; the "Modulo tolerance window" is ignored

CALI_PLC_CAM

0x6000

Calibration

Start a calibration with cam (digital inputs)

CALI_HW_SYNC

0x6100

start a calibration with cam and HW sync pulse (C-track)

SET_CALIBRATION
