The general rotary table mode is selected with PS.27:

Position
setting
8: Rotary table with
path optimization
The position on the round table is always approached on the
shortest path , i.e., the drive approaches the position from the
right or the left.
10: Rotary table
without path optimi-
zation
The position on the round table is always approached from one
direction. The sign of the position setpoint determines the direc-
tion of the positioning
12: Round table re-
lative (round axis)
The new target position is set relative to the current target
position.

This mode is particularly suitable for rotary table applications where a second encoder is used for the rotary
table position. Here, the gear backlash cannot cause a position error and the target position can be approached
precisely from both directions of rotation.
Here, the mode 8 "round table with path optimisation" is optimal since the shortest positioning times can be
achieved in this mode.
It is a prerequisite that the round table permits rotations in both directions.
The target position may lie only in the range of 0 to PS.39 - 1.
