For a rotary axis, the IP 240 always chooses the direction so that the target position is reached
along the shortest possible path. You can influence the range of the actual position by forwar-
ding a zero offset to the IP.
Switching the IP outputs
The IP 240 is equipped with two digital outputs per channel. When a position has been selected,
the IP 240 sets the enabled outputs autonomously and resets or disables them when the switching
points are reached.
In order to better adapt the IP 240 to your application, you can specify how the outputs are to be
switched when you configure the IP.
a) The IP outputs control the traverse speed
The speed is switched from rapid traverse to creep speed when the BEE1 range is entered. The
drive is switched off when the BEE2 range is entered.
You can also specify whether the outputs are to be set separately ( Fig. 10-6 a) or collectively
( Fig. 10-6 b).
