HARDWARE REFERENCE MANUAL
Comment
The position loop is closed in the Servo Drive.
No new motion command is allowed.
Recommended mode for position control with
MECHATROLINK-II axes.
Recommended mode for speed control with
MECHATROLINK-II axes. Set the speed with
S_REF.
The position loop is closed in Trajexia. This
gives lower performance than closing the posi-
tion loop in the Servo Drive.
Recommended mode for torque control with
MECHATROLINK-II axes. Set the torque with
T_REF.
The position loop is closed in Trajexia. The out-
put of the position loop is sent as the torque ref-
erence to the Servo Drive.
Recommended mode for speed control with
Flexible Axis.
The position loop is closed in Trajexia. Recom-
mended mode for position control with Flexible
Axis.
Inverter (with built-in encoder interface) con-
trolled on the MECHATROLINK-II bus as a
servo axis. Set the speed with S_REF.
Inverter (with built-in encoder interface) con-
