Function
3.1
General
The Motion Terminal VTEM provides a range of pneumatic open-loop and closed-loop control functions
that are executed in the form of Motion apps (MA). Parameters and setpoint values for executing a
Motion App can be specified. The Motion App converts these specifications into control commands at
the corresponding valve.
