| Profile modes | S-curve point-to-point ramp (velocity, acceleration/deceleration, Smoothing and position parameters); change of parameters "on-the-fly" not possible in this mode Trapezoidal point-to-point ramp (velocity, acceleration/deceleration, position and PID parameters); all parameters "on-the-fly" changeable during motion Electronic Gear (actual or commanded positioning selectable to move one or more axes with upto ±16 bit resolution. Master and Slave Axes and Gear Ratio parameters) External Profile Mode allows the usage of profile data previously generated by the host computer to be saved in the controller's memory. Therefore low host intervention for highly complex profile movements. This memory can be used in parallel for gathering data for diagnostic, maintenance and to optimize performance.
