Indexing table function path-optimized

Path-optimized movement

An absolute target position is always approached by the shortest path. Relative movements are not executed "path-optimized".

Position range Effect

Target position < circumference

(Example 120° < 360°)

The drive moves to the target position within 360°.

Target position = circumference

(Example 120° = 120°)

The drive remains in position.

Target position > circumference

(Example 600° -360° = 240°)

The drive moves to the position within the circumference (target position - (n x circumferential length))
