4.8.2  Teach Mode (Local, by wire) 
For the local teach, 2 different teach methods are available – Xpert and Xpress. 
While the Xpert mode represents the standard teach method with 4 teach levels available, the Xpress mode 
allows to simplify the teach-in procedure significantly by reducing it to only one teach level. 
Also the number of actions required to teach-in the position is reduced to one single activation of qTeach or 
the ext. teach-in.
