5.4.4   Rotary Plus Index
A Rotary Plus Index is used when Rotary Rollover is active. 
The Rotary Plus Index is similar to an Absolute Index, but 
it is forced to go in the positive direction to get to its 
programmed position. The programmed position for a 
Rotary Plus Index must be within the Rotary Rollover range 
(Posn < Rotary Rollover). Figure 48 compares a Rotary 
Plus Index to an Absolute Index (Rotary Rollover is 
enabled).

5.4.5   Rotary Minus Index
A Rotary Minus Index is used when Rotary Rollover is 
active. The Rotary Minus Index is similar to an Absolute 
Index, but it is forced to go in the negative direction to get 
to its programmed position. The programmed position for a 
Rotary Minus Index must be within the Rotary Rollover 
range (Posn < Rotary Rollover). Figure 49 compares a 
Rotary Minus Index to an Absolute Index (Rotary Rollover 
is enabled).

5.4.6   Timed Index
A Timed Index is not a specific type of index like the other 
types listed above. Timed Index is simply an option for the 
other types of indexes. Each index type (other than 
registration indexes) can be configured as a Timed Index.
In many applications, the user knows how far the load must 
move in a certain period of time. Rather than making the 
user calculate an acceleration, velocity, and deceleration 
so that an index takes the right amount of time, the 
SM-EZMotion module allows the user to enter the distance 
and the time instead.
In a Timed Index, the user provides the distance and time, 
and the firmware automatically calculates the accel, 
velocity, and decel to finish in the right period of time. 
Figure 50 shows an example of a Timed Index profile.
