74  Application manual Positioning  04/08
The operation mode is the result of the combination of 3 possible input signals and 3 
status changes to produce the required output signal. The unit digit defines the 
evaluation upon the start of the motion block, the tens digit defines the evaluation 
as soon as the reference value is reached and the hundreds digit defines the evalua-
tion at the end of the motion block.

On  __1 _1_  1__ 
Off  __2 _2_  2__ 
Note:  The underscore characters "_" are used as wildcards so that it can be 
seen directly for which place (unit, tens, hundreds digit) the value is 
used. 
 Start 
  “Start” is evaluated when a positioning operation starts. 
  Reference value reached 
  The evaluation of "Reference value reached:" depends on the parameter con-
figuration for 
Motion Mode 1208: 
Motion Mode 1208
Evaluation of "Reference value reached":
0 -  absolute 
1 -  relative 
2 -  Touch probe: rising edge 
3 -  Touch probe: falling edge 
10 -  Gearing, absolute 
11 -  Gearing, relative 
12 -  Gearing, 
touch probe: rising edge 
13 -  Gearing, 
touch probe: falling edge 
20 -  Gearing, direct sync., absolu-
te 
21 -  Gearing, direct sync., relative 
22 -  Gearing, direct sync., Touch-
Probe: Rising Edge 
23 -  Gearing, direct sync., Touch-
Probe: Falling Edge 
Evaluation of "Reference value reached:" if 
Target Position / Distance 1202 is reached. 
4 -  Velocity  Evaluation of "Reference value reached:" if 
Speed 1203 is reached. 
14 -  Gearing 
24 -  Gearing, direct synchronisati-
on 
Evaluation of "Reference value reached:" when 
master speed is reached and logic signal "57 – 
In Gear" is set. 
 End 
The evaluation of "End:" depends on the parameter configuration for 
Operation
Mode 
1221: 
Operation mode 1221
Evaluation of "End": 
Automatic sequence  Evaluation of "End:" after completion of motion block. 
Single motion 
No evaluation of "End": The digital signal corresponds 
to the status "Reference value reached:". The status 
depends on the selected operation mode for the digi-
tal signal (parameter 1218, 1219, 1247, 1248). Possi-
ble statuses: "off", "on" or "unchanged".
