5-1 Position Control
Positioning can be performed according to the pulses input into the pulse-string inputs (CN1-22 to
25).
The Servomotor rotates using the value of the pulse-string inputs multiplied by the value of the
electronic gear (Pn46, Pn47, Pn4A, and Pn4B).
SMARTSTEP2 Series Servo Drives have two position control modes: high-response position
control and advanced position control. Select the mode better suited for your operational
conditions.
High-Response Position Control vs. Advanced Position Control
The two position control modes have the following differences.
The Notch Filter 1 Frequency, Vibration Frequency, and Realtime Autotuning Mode Selection
cannot be used at the same time in high-response position control mode. The parameter entered
first will be given priority.
Example: When the Realtime Autotuning Mode Selection is set, the Servo Drive will be forcibly set
to 1500 (disabled), even if the Notch Filter 1 Frequency is input.
The adaptive filter will be disabled under high-response position control. To use the adaptive filter,
select the advanced position control mode.

The Positioning Completed Output (INP) turns ON when the
number of pulses in the deviation counter is equal to or less than
the setting of this parameter.
