Master clock distance (MT)
The Master clock distance is the distance which the master runs, i.e. after which
the cycle is repeated. This distance is stated in the physical unit of the Master.
After this distance, the curve is repeated.
Slave clock distance (ST)
The Slave clock distance is the distance which the Slave runs, stated in the
physical unit of the Slave.
Coupling position (ME)
Master position, where the coupling sequence starts.
Synchronous position (MS)
The coupling sequence is finished, if the master has reached the synchronous
position MS, i.e. at the master position MS the slave is synchronous to the curve
(MS > MT possible).
Decoupling position (MA)
Via the decoupling position MA the decoupling sequence can be started in a
defined fashion from a certain master position (MA) on (dependent on the
decoupling operating mode selected).
