Number Axis Parameter Description Range [Units] Access
138 Ramp mode
Automatically set when using ROR, ROL, MST
and MVP.
0: Position mode. Steps are generated, when the
parameters actual position and target position
differ. Trapezoidal speed ramps are provided.
2: Velocity mode. The motor will run continu-
ously and the speed will be changed using the
maximum acceleration parameter when the tar-
get speed gets changed.
For special purposes, the soft mode (value 1)
with exponential decrease of speed can be se-
lected.

140 Microstep
resolution
Microstep resolutions per full step:
0 fullstep
1 halfstep
2 4 microsteps
3 8 microsteps
4 16 microsteps
5 32 microsteps
6 64 microsteps
7 128 microsteps
8 256 microsteps
It is strongly recommended to use at least 8
microsteps.
0. . . 8 RW
149 Soft stop flag 0 - Hard stop when a stop switch is hit.
1 - Soft stop (using deceleration ramp) when a
stop switch is hit.
0/1 RWE
150 End switch
power down
mode
0 - Stay at run current when stopped by end
switch.
1 - Use stand by current when stopped by end
switch.
0/1 RW
153 Ramp divisor
The exponent of the scaling factor for the ramp
generator. Change this parameter carefully (in
steps of one) and only while the motor is not
moving. Lower values lead to higher accelera-
tions.
This parameter specifies the relation between
internal and real world acceleration units.
