Clock direction mode
Int. Ref.
Clock direction mode
Ext. Ref.
Use this mode when you wish to operate the motor
with a higher-order controller (e.g. CNC controller).
In the clock direction mode, the motor is operated via
two inputs by a higher-order positioning controller
(indexer) with one clock signal and one directional
signal.
Depending on the mode selected (Int. Ref./Ext. Ref.),
the internal or external reference run is supported.
Analog and joystick mode
The motor is simply controlled in this operating mode
with a potentiometer or a joystick (–10 V to +10 V).
Use this mode if you want to use the motor in a simple
application:
•
Setting a specific speed, e.g. via an external
potentiometer,
•
Traveling
synchronously with a higher-order
controller with analog output (–10 V to +10 V).
Analog positioning mode
Use this mode to travel to a specific position.
The voltage level on the analog input is proportional to
the required position.
Torque mode
Use this mode if you wish require a specific output
torque, independent of the speed, as is the case in
typical winding and unwinding applications. The
maximum torque is specified via the analog input.
