An exact ratio can be applied to the position reference with these two parameters. The ratio cannot be changed when the drive is enabled without
causing abrupt changes of position. Although it is possible to set up ratios with a high gain or even with a denominator of zero, the drive limits the
resultant gain of the ratio block to 4.000.
The gain of the position controller is controlled with this parameter. The standard units within the drive for position are in 2
32
counts per revolution and
the standard units for speed are 0.1 rpm, however the position controller gain is given in rads
-1
/rad. These units are consistent with units such as
mms
-1
/mm or ms
-1
/m often used for linear control applications. An error of 1 radian (10430 counts in the position error (Pr 13.02)) gives a speed
reference of 1rads
-1
(9.5 rpm) when this gain is 1.00.
This parameter is used to set the position controller mode as shown in the following table.
