7.1 Operating Modes
7.1.1 Supported Operating Modes
The servo drive implements several modes of operation. The behavior of the servo drive depends on the activated mode of operation.
It is possible to switch between the modes while the servo drive is enabled.
The supported modes of operation are according to CANopen
supported modes of operation are available for EtherCAT
The various modes of operation are described in detail in the VLT
Guide.

Description
Inertia meas-
This mode measures the inertia of an axis. It is used to measure the inertia of the servo drive and the external
urement mode
load, and to optimize the control loop settings. The friction effects are eliminated automatically.
Profile velocity
In profile velocity mode, the servo drive is operated under velocity control and executes a movement with con-
mode
stant speed. Additional parameters, such as acceleration and deceleration, can be parameterized.
Profile position
In profile position mode, the servo drive is operated under position control and executes absolute and relative
mode
movements. Additional parameters, such as velocity, acceleration, and deceleration, can be parameterized.
Profile torque
In profile torque mode, the servo drive is operated under torque control and executes a movement with constant
mode
torque. Linear ramps are used. Additional parameters, such as torque ramp and maximum velocity, can be para-
meterized.
Homing mode
In homing mode, the application reference position of the servo drive can be set. Several homing methods, such
as homing on actual position, homing on block, limit switch, or home switch are available.
CAM mode
In CAM mode, the servo drive executes a synchronized movement based on a master axis. The synchronization is
done by a CAM profile that contains slave positions corresponding to master positions. CAMs can be designed
graphically with the ISD Toolbox software, or can be parameterized via the PLC. The guide value can be provided
by an external encoder, virtual axis, or the position of another axis. The different CAM profile types are described
in the VLT
Gear mode
In gear mode, the servo drive executes a synchronized movement based on a master axis by using a gear ratio
between the master and the slave position. The guide value can be provided by an external encoder, virtual axis,
or the position of another axis.
Cyclic synchro-
In cyclic synchronous position mode, the trajectory generator of the position is located in the control device, not
nous position
in the servo drive.
