The prepared positioningprocess is started using POSA or POSR. Note the following:♦ Combined commands can be mixed (POSR SPEED, POSR OUTPUT).♦ A total of 8 combined commands can be programmed per positioning process.♦ The positioning values of the command combinations are always positive andrefer to the start point of the positioning process. They represent differences intravel. The direction is specified by the next positioning command. This can berelative (POSR) or absolute (POSA) . Meaning:♦ The positioning values for speed steps, ramp times or comparators always applyfrom the point at which positioning starts (for POSA and POSR)♦ The positioning values for speed steps, ramp times or comparators are numericalvalues:♦ If the following positioning is positive, COMPAX calculates them as positivevalues.♦ If the following positioning is negative, COMPAX calculates them as negativevalues.♦ If a process cycle has been interrupted by "Stop", continue the cycle using"Start".♦ The preparatory instructions are canceled by the "Hand+/-", "Find machine zero"and "Approach real zero" commands.8.4.13 Changes in speed within a positioning process [POSR SPEED]Each speed step profile can have a maximum of 8 speed steps. The comparatorvalue is specified as a relative dimension. It is referenced to the positioning startpoint.POSR value 1 SPEED value 2Value 1: only positive values permitted (unit corresponds to P90); two digits afterthe decimal point (three for inches), a control parameter (P40..P49) or avariable V1 ... V39.Value 2: no digits after the decimal point; numerical value, a control parameter(P40..P49) or a variable V1 ...
