42  Application manual Positioning  04/08
The operation mode of parameter Motion Mode 1208 defines the reference of the 
target position. 
Operation modes 10 to 14 are combined with the function of an electronic gear. 
Motion Mode 1208
Function
0 -  absolute 
Target position relates to the fixed reference posi-
tion (point of reference for positioning). Factory 
setting. See chapter “4.4.1.1. 
1 -  relative 
A relative positioning operation relates to a variable 
position. This may be the last target position or the 
current position reached in manual JOG mode. See 
chapter 
4.4.1.2. 
2 - 
Touch probe: 
rising edge 
The rising edge of a digital signal on digital input 
S3IND is used for setting a reference point for a 
relative positioning operation. See chapter 
4.4.1.3. 
3 - 
Touch probe: 
falling edge 
The falling edge of a digital signal on digital input 
S3IND is used for setting a reference point for a 
relative positioning operation. See chapter 
4.4.1.3. 
4 -  Velocity 
The drive moves at the speed profile parameterized 
in the selected motion block. The target position is 
not relevant and is not evaluated. See chapter 
4.4.1.4 
10 -  Gearing, absolute 
Absolute motion mode is combined with the elec-
tronic gearing function. The drive is synchronized 
with the master drive when it attains the master 
speed. See chapter 
4.4.1.5. 
11 -  Gearing, relative 
Relative motion mode is combined with the elec-
tronic gearing function. The drive is synchronized 
with the master drive when it attains the master 
speed. See chapter 
4.4.1.5. 
12 - 
Gearing, touch probe: 
rising edge 
Operation mode 2 is combined with the electronic 
gearing function. The drive is synchronized with the 
master drive when it attains the master speed. See 
chapter 
4.4.1.5. 
13 - 
Gearing, touch probe: 
falling edge 
Operation mode 3 is combined with the electronic 
gearing function. The drive is synchronized with the 
master drive when it attains the master speed. See 
chapter 
4.4.1.5. 
14 -  Gearing 
Like operation mode 4, but the drive moves at the 
speed profile defined by the electronic gear. The 
target position is not relevant and is not evaluated. 
The drive is synchronized with the master drive 
when it attains the master speed. See chapter 
4.4.1.5. 
20 - 
Gearing, direct sync., 
absolute 
Absolute motion mode is combined with the elec-
tronic gearing function. The drive is accelerated to 
the master speed. At the start of a motion block the 
drive is sychronised with the master drive directly. 
21 - 
Gearing, direct sync., 
relative 
Relative motion mode is combined with the elec-
tronic gearing function. The drive is accelerated to 
the master speed. At the start of a motion block the 
drive is sychronised with the master drive directly. 
22 - 
Gearing, direct sync., 
Touch-Probe: Rising 
Edge 
Operation mode 2 is combined with the electronic 
gearing function. The drive is accelerated to the 
master speed. At the start of a motion block the 
drive is sychronised with the master drive directly.
