8.2.1.3 Process option “Path - optimized”
An absolute target position is always approached by the shortest path. Relative
movements cannot be carried out with the “path – optimized” mode.
Position range
Example
Effect
Target position <
circumference
120°< 360°
The drive moves to the target position
within 360°.
Target position =
circumference
120° = 120°
The drive remains in position.
Target position >
circumference
600° - 360° =
240°
The drive moves to the position within
the circumference (target position - (n x
circumferential length))
