The parameter is used to enter the direction of motion. With this the direction of motion can be adjusted to the load. For rotary drives, the direction of rotation is indicated in the event of positive velocity (view on the drive shaft) and corresponding to EncoderPosition.
For linear drives, the direction of movement is indicated corresponding to EncoderPosition.
The parameter Direction responds to the reference positions, actual positions, reference velocities, actual velocities, currents, and the reference acceleration. It has no influence on the EncoderPosition.

---|---|---|---|
left / 0 |
BOOL |
View on the drive shaft by positive velocity: In counterclockwise direction |
MechPosition and EncoderPosition develop in opposite directions. |
right / 1 |
BOOL |
View on the drive shaft by positive velocity: Clockwise (default value) |
MechPosition and EncoderPosition develop in the same direction. |
Direction parameter using the example of rotary drives
If right / 1 is parameterized, then the MechPosition and the EncoderPosition initially have the same positive values after the Sercos phase up.
If left / 0 is parameterized, then the MechPosition and the EncoderPosition initially have the same absolute value but different signs after the Sercos phase up. The EncoderPosition is positive and the MechPosition negative.
