| 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.
OPTION Trapezoidal point-to-point ramp with Smoothing Factor ("on-the-fly" changes of all parameters possible and s-curve similar profiling) |

| Filter parameter resolution | 16 bit (servo)
|
Motion error detection
| Motion Error (32-Bit) can cause automatic (with abrupt stop or stop with ramp) stop or can be ignored.
Tracking Window (allows setting of flags if an axis exceeds a defined programmed positioning window for a defined time after end of motion. |
