7.15 Direct Position Mode (Manufacturer Specific) 
In this mode, a target position is set and limited to create a position demand. No profile generator is used. There are 
two different modes of operation for direct position mode. If mode of operation is set to –3, then a trigger for the 
move must be set by a 0 to 1 transition in the new set-point bit of the control word (similar to profile position mode). 
If the mode of operation is set to –4, then no trigger is required, and simply changing the set point will cause the new 
set point to be assumed. In both modes the “change immediately” bit can be set or cleared to interrupt or follow the 
current move.

CONTROL WORD 
1.  The control word is implemented as specified in the DS402 standard, with the following mode specific bits. 
Figure 7.17 Direct Position Mode Control Word 
2.  If mode of operation = -3 (i.e. triggered), then the “new set point” bit must see a 0 to 1 transition in order 
for a move to occur. If the mode of operation = -4 (i.e. non-triggered), then the “new set point” bit is 
ignored, and a move is triggered by changing the target position. 
3.  Setting the “Change Set Immediately bit”, will interrupt the actual positioning, and start the next 
positioning. Clearing the bit will finish the actual positioning, before starting the next positioning.
