1.8.10 S-Curve Settings

The configuration page allows the user to select whether an axis is to be
used in rotary mode or in linear mode. A rotary mode axis is one which
has a positioning system that is based on a modulus called machine
cycle. For example, an indexing table that travels in one direction only
with a finite machine cycle is a rotary axis. A ball screw system can be
defined as a linear axis. For rotary axes, the user should specify a machine
cycle.

Refer to section 1.8.8 on how to set user units in the hardware
configuration.

S-Curve functionality

S-Curve functionality for discrete motion profiles is available starting in
firmware version 1.1.2.5 by enabling the moving average filter function.
To use the moving average filter, enable it in the configuration tab for the
motion axis. Once enabled in the Hardware Configuration and saved in the
controller, the feature cab be toggled off and on in the IEC application
