OPERATING MODES
OVERVIEW
The Positioning Drive is differentiated from common analog servo drives in that the amplifier
includes a position feedback loop. As a result, the amplifier will provide both precise position
and velocity control of the motor. The drive utilizes resolver feedback for both velocity and
position feedback. Thus, a tachometer is no longer required.
The drives include three different control modes providing alternatives for implementing motion
control. The modes are listed below.
