4.9 Speed Override 
The positioning function uses the parameterized speeds of the individual motion 
blocks. 
Alternatively, the positioning speed can be defined via an external reference value 
source. For this purpose, the 
Speed Override  1236 function is enabled. The set 
values can be changed during operation dynamically, e.g. by a potentiometer on an 
analog input. The speed override function does not affect the ramps set for accelera-
tion and deceleration. The function can be used, for example, for commissioning, 
maintenance or in setup mode. 
The signal source for adjusting the speed (e.g. analog multi-function input or fixed 
percentage) is done via parameter 
Reference Value Source 476. 
Speed Override 1236 
Function
0 -  Off 
Factory setting. Speed override disabled. Motion blocks 
are processed at parameterized speeds. 
1 -  On 
Speed override enabled. The speeds in the motion blocks 
are set via the selected signal source. 
The function does not change the speed in settings 10 to 24 (gearing) for parameter 
Motion Mode 1208. The master speed is still applied. The function has to be acti-
vated on the master drive. 
Note:
The travel speed is limited by the 
Maximum frequency 419. The range 
(limits for change of travel speed) is defined by 
Min. Reference Per-
centage
 518 and Max. Reference Percentage 519. 
 Example: The travel speed is controlled from 0 … 100% (0 … 10 V) via a reference 
value potentiometer on multifunction input MFI1A. The percentages refer to the 
speed values set in the motion blocks.

• Parameter 
Minimum Reference Percentage 518 = 0.00% (factory setting) 
• Parameter 
Maximum Reference Percentage 519 = 100.00% (factory setting) 
• Parameter 
Speed Override 1236 = "1 - On" 
Actual value parameter Reference Percentage 229 shows the specified travel speed
