The Commander core can perform positional moves in absolute or incremental mode. For absolute mode, the ABS command is used, and for incremental mode the INC command is used. Best practice is to set the absolute or incremental mode during system setup. The move mode will remain in absolute or incremental mode until it is changed.

In absolute mode, the axis will move to the specified target position. In incremental mode, the axis will increase or decrease its current position by the specified target position.

The MM command can be used to determine the current move mode of the controller. Table MM command below details the value assignment of the MM command.
