  • Page 29: Encoder Position Tuning

    Encoder position tuning Vector Vector Vector • Encoder position tuning is required when a PM motor with an encoder is driven. The measured offset value between the motor home magnetic pole position and the encoder home position is stored. Only the encoder position tuning can be performed when offline auto tuning is not required, such as when the parameters for motor constant are set manually, or when offline auto tuning is already performed.
