Speed
controlling
flag
OFF: Position being
controlled
ON: Speed being

This flag is ON during speed control and is used to judge whether speed
control or position control is being executed.
During speed/position changeover control, this flag is ON until speed
control is switched to position control by an external speed/position
changeover signal.
This flag turns OFF at power-on or at start of position control, JOG
operation or manual pulse generator operation. (*
