Comparison of servo control and vector control
The table below shows a comparison between the characteristic features of servo and vector
controls.
Table 5- 1 Comparison of servo control and vector control
Subject Servo control Vector control
Typical applications
• Drives with highly dynamic motion
control
•
Drives with high speed and torque
accuracy
(servo synchronous motors)
• Angular-locked synchronism with
isochronous PROFIdrive
•
For use in machine tools and clocked
production machines
• High output frequency
• Speed and torque-controlled drives
with high speed and torque accuracy,
particularly in operation without an
encoder (sensorless operation)
Maximum number of drives that
can be controlled by one Control
Unit
To be taken into consideration:
