1.1 Product Overview
The AC servo technology has been proved since the early 1990s. With ever-improving
performance, it is widely applied to NC machine tools, printing and packaging machines, textile
machines, automated production lines and other areas of automation.
DA98E series AC servo Drive Unit (also known as bus-oriented AC servo Drive Unit) is a
new generation of products with an up-to-date industrial Ethernet bus communication
interface developed by us.
The external control device for the series of Unit can communicate with several GSK-LINK
bus-oriented AC servo Drive Unit through only one network cable. They feature simple interfaces,
easy installation and high compatibility. Through a high-speed and reliable GSK-LINK field bus and
protocol, a NC system may receive/send diversified data including position, speed command, motor
encoder data, controlling parameters for current loop, speed loop and position loop, state parameters
of drive unit and other messages from/to a servo Drive Unit. By supporting diversified data, the
system may exert control over the operation of a motor and better realize the real-time monitoring of
the control and drive Unit through configuration of position, speed command and adaptive
parameters of the system, thereby further improving the processing efficiency and accuracy of the NC
system. With a built-in advanced and dedicated chip for control over the motor, a FPGA
(Field-Programmable Gate Array) and a new IPM intelligent power module, the servo drive unit is
characterized by high integrity, compactness, complete protection and high reliability.

1.2 Fundamentals
1) Operating Principle of AC Servo Drive Unit
The AC servo drive unit consists of an AC servo unit and an AC servomotor (3-phase
permanent-magnet synchronous motor, hereinafter called “servomotor”). The servo unit rectifies
3-phase alternating current into direct current (namely AC to DC) and produces approximately simple
harmonic alternating current with 120° phase difference in the 3-phase stator winding of the
servomotor by controlling the switching of the power switching tube. The current creates a rotating
field in the servomotor. The rotor of the servomotor is made of high anti-demagnetizing rare-earth
permanent magnetic material. The rotor of the servomotor is driven by the electromagnet torque as a
result of the interaction of the magnetic field of the rotor for the servomotor and its rotating magnetic
field. The higher the frequency of the current through the servomotor winding is, the faster the
servomotor rotates. The output torque (torque = force x length of moment arm) of the servomotor
increases with the amplitude of the current through the servomotor winding.
Figure 1-1 is the block diagram of the main circuit in which PG indicates an encoder.

2) Basic Structure of AC Servo Drive Unit
The servo unit receives speed commands from a control unit (also known as host computer)
such as CNC system to control the amplitude and frequency of the current through the winding of the
servomotor so that the rotating speed (or angle of rotation) of the rotor for the servomotor is close to
the value of the speed (or position) commands, and knows the deviation of the real rotating speed (or
angle of rotation) of the servomotor rotor from the command value through the feedback signal of the
encoder. The servo unit keeps the deviation of the real rotating speed (or angle of rotation) of the
servomotor rotor from the command value within the required range by continuous regulating the
amplitude and frequency of the current through the winding of the servomotor. The basic structure of
the servo system is shown in Figure 1-2.

3) General Glossaries regarding Control
zControl: Control refers to the procedure allowing the characteristics (e.g. rotating speed) of the
object (e.g. servomotor) to reach or become close to the expected value. The foregoing object is
called “controlled object”, its characteristics “controlled variable”, the device that realizes the control
“control unit (controller)”, the expected value (command value) of the controlled variable received by
3
DA98E Series AC Servo Drive Unit User Manual
the control unit “setting”, the process that the controlled variable is affected as the input of the
controller “feedback” and the unit that is used to detect the controlled variable “feedback unit”.
Feedback is divided into positive feedback (in the same direction) and negative feedback (in opposite
direction). The controller that realizes the controlled variable, the controlled object and feedback unit
compose a “control system”. A drive is under closed-loop control or open-loop control depending on
the presence of a feedback unit and the position where the feedback unit is located in the drive. The
closed-loop control described in the manual is of negative feedback.
Among the AC servo Drive Unit described herein, the servo unit serves as a controller, the
servomotor controlled object, rotating speed (or angle of rotation of rotor) of motor controlled variable
and the encoder of the servomotor feedback unit. The encoder detects the actual rotating speed of
the motor for speed control so as to achieve speed feedback. Therefore the AC servo drive unit is a
closed-loop control system.
zClosed-loop control: The actual value of the controlled variable does not affect the output of the
controller if the control system is not provided with a feedback device. For a stepper motor drive, for
example, the rotor of a stepper motor shall rotate with the change in the phase sequence of its output
current. Since normally a stepper motor is not fitted with a speed or position feedback device,
excessive load or acceleration/deceleration may prevent the motor rotor from accurately rotation with
the change in the phase sequence of current, thereby causing the so-called “out-of-step”.
Open-loop control is as shown in Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3 Open-loop control
zClosed-loop control: The controlled variable of the control system is detected and transferred to
the controller by the feedback device to affect the output of the controller and thereby to change the
controlled variable. Closed-loop control is classified as full-closed loop control and semi-closed
loop control by the detection points. The feedback device’s direct detection of the controlled variable
and use of it for feedback is called full-closed loop control (e.g. Figure 1-4) and the position of the
gear is the controlled variable. The full-closed loop control over the position of the gearing is achieved
by using the grating mounted on the gearing as a position feedback device and the encoder for the
Gearing
servomotor as a speed feedback. In the absence of the grating, the encoder for the servomotor is
used as a position and speed feedback (see Figure 1-5). In this case, this is the semi-closed control
over a mechanical position.

Chapter 1 Summary
Figure 1-5 Semi-closed loop control
zPID Control: Also called PID regulation, it is the common algorithm used by the controller
for mathematical treatment of the input data (setting and feedback). “P” is the abbreviation of
“proportional” and refers to the linear proportional relationship between the input and output of a
controller. The bigger a proportional control factor is, the more sensitively the system will respond and
the smaller (cannot be completely eliminated) the steady state error will become. Excessive
proportional control factor leads to the disturbance and instability of the system. “I” stands for
“integral” and means the influence of controller input time integral upon output (input gradually affects
output). The bigger an integral time constant is, the more smoothly the system runs without steady
state error and the slower the system responds. “D” is the initial of “Differential”, indicating the
influence of input differential (the slope of input change). Differential control can forecast, produces
advanced correction, reduces following error and improves dynamic performance. Excessive
differential coefficient may cause system disturbance and instability. Proportional, integral and
differential controls influence each other. In a specific control system it is required achieve the
balance of the response speed, control accuracy and stability by adjusting the PID control parameters.
As differential control tends to produce impact and unsteadiness, the servo system described herein
employs PI control, i.e. only proportional and integral control.

4) Glossaries with regard to Servo Control
The servo system is provided with three basic control modes: position control, speed control and
torque control. The block diagram of the system is as shown in Figure 1-6.
zPosition control: The direction and angle of rotation of the motor are set by means of digital
pulse or data communication. The servo unit controls the motor rotor so that it rotates by a proper
angle in the given direction. Both the angle (position) and speed of rotation are controllable.
zSpeed control: The direction and angle of rotation of the motor are set by means of analog
voltage or data communication. The servo unit controls the motor rotor so that it rotates in the given
direction at the given speed.
zTorque control: The amplitude and direction of the output torque of the motor are set by
means of analog voltage or data communication. The servo unit controls the direction of rotation and
output torque of the motor rotor.
The servo unit described herein currently does not receive any torque setting signal or provide
torque controlling mode.

of a servo unit and is as follows when indicated by percentage:
Steady-state error: The difference between the expected steady-state value and actual output of the
system after rotating speed becomes steady during system response.
