6.12.1 Position target
Position set point default
Absolute positioning. Reference point is the real null (RN) or relative positioning:
adjustable via the control word bit 6 (0 = absolute; 1 = relative).
Positioning is done with the set acceleration time (deceleration time) and the set speed. If these values were not set, then valid
are substitute values:
Velocity: Parameter P002; acceleration time: Parameter P006

The "Position target" object can be laid on a R-PDO. A handshake can be used to assign a new set point value (see also with
R-PDO control; bit 15; page 21). This is done using the following bits:
! 
Control word byte 2 bit 4 "new set point" and
! 
Status word byte 1 bit 4 "acknowledge record point"
