8.6.3. Shorter Way Positioning
 Shorter way positioning is a function to move the Motor in the shorter way from the current position to the
target position.
 For example, the Driver Unit performs the shorter way positioning when the positioning with
the command of “AD24000” without any option is inputted.
 The function of shorter way positioning includes recognition of the software over travel limit zone.
 The Motor rotates in the direction not to enter the off-limits area if it exists in the direction of
shorter way positioning.
