3.5.3 Setting up a motion profile 
For complex motion profiles, e.g. profiles requiring different speeds and accelera-
tions, different motion blocks must be created. 
Example: 
a11
a12
a22
a31 a32
t
t2
v
v1
v2
v3
Motion block 1 Motion block 2 Motion block 3
a21
Motion block 1  Motion block 2  Motion block 3 
Approach target pos. 1  Approach target pos. 2  Return 
a11 Acceleration  a21  Acceleration  a31 Acceleration 
v1 Speed  v2  Speed  v3 Speed 
a12 Deceleration  a22  Deceleration  a32  Deceleration 
t2  Delay until next motion 
block, e.g. for work-
piece machining 
Motion block parameters  In example above: 
Target Position / Distance 1202 
s1, s2, s3 
Speed 1203 
v1, v2, v3 
Acceleration 1204 
a11, a21, a31 
Deceleration 1206 
a12, a22, a32 
Delay 1212 
t2 
Delay: Next Motion Block 1213
3 (motion block 2) 
Event 1 1214
6 – On (motion block 1) 
Event 1: Next Motion Block 1214
2 (motion block 1); 
0 (motion block 3); 
The motion profile shown in the example requires parameterization of 3 motion 
blocks.
