All position values (offset, software end positions, target
positions...) have a mathematical sign and must be adapted
to the position of the relevant reference point.
Value
1)
Position values for SLTE−...
+ Positive values face from the reference point in the
direction away from the motor.
Negative values face from the reference point in the
direction towards the motor.

Factory setting (see also appendix B, object 607E)
All values are entered or displayed according to the measur

Setting only with FCT when a project is started or via [Project]
[Properties].
The setting of the measuring system influences only the dis
play in the Festo Configuration Tool.
All parameters in the SFC−DC are always saved in increments
(inc, inc/s, inc/s
2
...) and not converted until they are written
or read.
Measurements transmitted directly via the RS232 refer to an
increment basis (conversion see appendix B.6)
