Adapting the parameter settings of the C-863.12 to the connected positioner by loading
a parameter set from a positioner database
▪
Switching on the servo mode (closed-loop operation)
▪
Doing a reference move; details see "Referencing" (p. 28).
NOTICE

Selecting an incorrect positioner type in the PC software can damage the positioner.
