Rectangle Position

The current actual axis position from the PLC configuration is displayed in units.

Rectangle Start position/End position

When starting positioning, the drive first travels to the start position and then travels back and forth between the end and start position. If a position range is defined in the Main Configuration visualization window, the start and end position must be within the position range.

Rectangle Velocity

The maximum (reference) velocity for positioning can be entered in units per second. The maximum value is specified by Max. Velocity.

Rectangle Acceleration

The maximum (reference) acceleration for positioning can be entered in units per second squared. The maximum value is specified via Max. Acceleration.

Rectangle Waiting time

A waiting time in seconds can be entered between the motion sections for the positioning test. The minimum resolution of the waiting time is determined by the cycle time of the task with which AutoTune is processed.

NOTE: The wait time is always an integer multiple of the task cycle time. Therefore the waiting time can vary by one task cycle time.
