4.4.5.1 Starting and stopping positioning 
The positioning operation is controlled via signals for both parameters 
Start Position-
ing
1222 and Stop Positioning 1223. The parameters can be assigned logic signals 
or digital inputs. The positioning operation is started with a positive edge on digital 
input or a logic signal for parameter 
Start Positioning 1222 (factory setting S2IND). 
The logic signals for motion block change-over are evaluated only when a signal for 
parameter 
Start Positioning 1222 is present. Via Operation Mode 1221, it is de-
fined if a single motion or an automatic sequence is started. After completion of an 
automatic motion block sequence, a restart can be performed. 
Operation Mode 
1221 defines the action after start positioning and the motion block selection. 
Operation Mode 1221:
− automatic sequence or single motion 
− restart after automatic sequence 
− first motion block for automatic sequence via motion block change-over function 
or via parameter 
Starting-Record Number 1228
− motion block for single motion via motion block change-over function or via pa-
rameter 
Starting-Record Number 1228 
If the signal for "Stop Positioning" is set during a motion order, the drive will stop at 
the current position at the 
Deceleration  1206 set in the current motion block. As 
soon as "Stop Positioning" is reset, the motion block is continued.

If the signal for "Start Positioning" is reset during a motion order, the drive will stop 
at the current position at the 
Deceleration 1206 set in the active motion block. If 
"Start Positioning" is set again the sequence of motion blocks begins with the 1
st
motion block. If the time set in parameter 
Holding Time 638 is exceeded, the drive 
is switched off.
