Normal positioning

The positioning type is used when the control bits are set as follows:

• Control bit 5 to 0
• Control bit 6 to 0

Comparable to the positioning of the linear axis. When the positioning limits (parameters and ) are reached, the setpoint automatically adjusts to the other end of the limit. Positioning can be relative or absolute.

Positioning beyond the modulo limit values is only possible with this bit combination.

Only in negative direction

The positioning type is used when the control bits are set as follows:

• Control bit 5 to 1
• Control bit 6 to 0

Positioning only in negative direction of movement. If the setpoint position is greater than the actual position, the drive moves to the setpoint position beyond the positioning limit ( parameter).

Only in positive direction

The positioning type is used when the control bits are set as follows:

• Control bit 5 to 0
• Control bit 6 to 1

Positioning only in negative direction of movement. If the setpoint position is smaller than the actual position, the drive moves to the setpoint position beyond the positioning limit ( parameter).

Shortest way

The positioning type is used when the control bits are set as follows:

• Control bit 5 to 1
• Control bit 6 to 1

The direction of rotation of the drive is specified in such a way that the shortest distance results from positioning between actual position and current setpoint position.

NOTE: If the distance between actual position and setpoint position is 180° in a 360° degrees system, the drive moves in positive direction.
