Tab.3/22: Record parameters
Special case: Switching between force and position
If there is a record switch with switching from force control to
position control without changing direction, the drive first
stops. This is necessary so that the forces which were built up
before can be relieved.
Only afterwards is the new target position approached.
Restriction:
Switching to a record with automatic profile
A record switch to a record with an automatic profile is only
possible with the switch condition MC".
If such a switch is set, a warning (W37) is signaled during
execution and the free profile is used.
