How to use analog command to control position in PT Mode?

1–2 minutes

First of all, in order to control the position using analog command, the operation mode should be PT mode or PT-PR mode (but PT is selected).

Then, the analog position command should be activated by using P1-64. Settings of P1-64 can be done like the following:

Initial position after servo is on can also be configured using P1-64 according to the following:

Based on this, if a voltage signal (-10 to 10 volts) is applied to V-REF analog input of the drive, the motor will start changing the position according to this signal.

The motor will turn a number of rotations based on the analog signal command; this number of rotations is defined by parameter P1-66. If P1-66 equals 10 for example, a 5 volt analog command will make the motor turn 5 times. If P1-66 equals 4, a 5 volt analog command will make the motor turn 2 times.

If the analog signal is noisy and not smooth, P1-65 (Smooth Constant) can be used to smooth the signal. Higher value means smoother signal that is less affected by noise.
