Operating modes of the controller
2.7.1
Direct operation
The CANopen or Ethernet interface can be used as a control interface. The X-Y position and travel
speed are transmitted by the higher-order controller/PC. The target position is linearly approached by
the current actual position.
Other possible functions are:
–
Jogging
–
Homing
2.7.2
Record selection
The I/O, CANopen or Ethernet interface can be used as a control interface. Records consist of record
type, target position X and Y, speed, acceleration and jerk. They are saved in the controller in a record
table with record number (
è
4.5.1 Record Table). A maximum of 31 records can be configured by the
user. Record 0 is reserved for homing. In operation, the higher-order controller/PC then selects indi
vidual records by transferring a record number (record selection). The target position is linearly ap
proached by the current actual position.
Other possible functions are:
–
Jogging
–
Homing run
–
If positioning is begun, it is always continued to the end in all operating modes.
–
A new positioning job is ignored before the end of a started positioning.
–
Records can only be parameterised via the Festo Configuration Tool (FCT)

Coordinate transformation is performed in the CMXH controller.
