Index Type – Select the desired type of index from the list box. Index2 has been defined as
an Incremental type of index. This means that the load travels an exact distance from the start
of the index.
Distance – The distance is a signed value that specifies the distance the load will travel from
the start position. The sign of this parameter determines direction of travel for the load. The
distance of Position C has been set to 2.5 inches.
Velocity – Is the target velocity of the index profile. The velocity parameter is unsigned and
is always greater than zero. Direction of the index is determined not by the velocity, but by
the Distance/Position parameter.
Acceleration – Is the average acceleration rate used when accelerating to the target index
velocity.
Deceleration - Is the average deceleration rate used when decelerating to zero speed, or to the
new target velocity.
