The initial settings for traversing velocity and feed mode are stored in
setting data for JOG mode.
Traversing velocities are defined by the machine-tool manufacturer.
The default setting for the feedrate is mm/min.
See operating area "Parameters/Setting data/Jog data".
Operating sequence
"Jog" mode is selected in the "Machine" operating area.

Traverse the axes

Using the "Inc" (increment) function, manually traverse the selected
axis in preset increments in the appropriate direction by pressing an
"Axis key" repeatedly:
· [.] Variable increment can be set via softkey "Inc" (see
Subsection 3.2.5).
· [1], [10], ..., [10000] fixed increment
Turning machine:
Press the "Axis" keys.
If necessary, set the speed with the override selector.
If you press "Rapid traverse override" at the same time, you can
traverse the axis in rapid traverse mode.
Milling machine:
Select the axis to be traversed and
then press the "+" or "-" key.
Feedrate and rapid traverse override switches can be operative.
One or several axes can be selected at the same time (depending on
PLC program).
