Data area:
Field name Type
Actual value: O The current position of the axis is displayed in this field. The basis for the
display is the specified dimensional unit.
Following O The difference between the actual position and the setpoint position is
error: displayed in this field. The upper limiting value is defined in the machine
data parameter "Max. following error" (see Section 5.1.6).
Speed: O In modes 3 and 4, "Following error" is replaced by "Speed". This field
shows the actual speed computed by the IP 266.
Distance to go: O When a mode is started with absolute or relative target position
specification, the IP 266 computes the distance between the target
position and the current position of the drive. During traversing, the
continually changing value is displayed in this field.
Switching O M functions may be programmed in a traversing (machining) program.
function: When mode 8 or 9 is started in a traversing (machining) program, the
programmed M functions are displayed in this screen form field.
"Type" column: O = output field
