2 Functional overview
2 Functional overview
Position control is a control mode in which the motor moves the load to a specified target
position.
The servo driver can be controlled by a pulse train in the frequency range between 1Hz and
8MHz from a host controller such as a PLC or a CNC controller or by block operation. This
Quick Start Guide explains how to wire and configure the servo driver to receive pulses from
a PLC.
Example
An FP0H PLC and a MINAS A6SF servo driver are connected to control the driver by I/O
signals. If needed, additional signals, such as servo-ready, alarm, or positioning complete,
can also be transmitted.
