Chapter 6  Control Modes of Operation|ASDA-A&A+ Series 
6-2     Revision April 2009 
The following sections describe the operation of each control mode, including control structure, command 
source and loop gain adjustment, etc. 
6.2  Position Control Mode 
The position control mode (Pt or Pr mode) is usually used for the applications requiring precision positioning, 
such as industry positioning machine, indexing table etc. Delta ASDA-A and ASDA-A+ series servo drives 
support two kinds of command sources in position control mode. One is an external pulse train (Pt: Position 
Terminals, External Position Control) and the other is internal parameter (Pr: Position Register, i.e. internal 
parameters P1-15 to P1-30, Internal Position Control). The external pulse train with direction which can 
control the rotation angle of servo motor. The max. input frequency for the external pulse command is 
500Kpps and it is equal to rotation speed of 3000r/min. 
In order to provide a convenient position control function, Delta servo drive provides eight internal preset 
parameters for position control. There are two setting methods of internal parameters, one is to set different 
position command into these eight internal parameters before operation and then use POS0~POS2 of DI 
signals of CN1 to perform positioning control. The other setting method is to use serial communication to 
change the setting value of these eight internal parameters. 
To make the servo motor and load operate more smoothly, Delta servo drive also provide complete Position 
Spine Line (P-curve) profile for position control mode. For the closed-loop positioning, speed control loop is 
the principal part and the auxiliary parameters are position loop gain and feed forward compensation. The 
users can also select three kinds of tuning mode (Manual/Auto/Easy modes) to perform gain adjustment. 
This Section 6.2 mainly describes the applicability of loop gain adjustment and feed forward compensation of 
Delta servo system. 
 
6.2.1  Command Source of Position (Pt) Control Mode 
The command source of P mode is external pulse train input form terminals. There are three types of 
pulse input and each pulse type is with·logic type (positive (+), negative (-)). They all can be set in 
parameter P1-00. Please refer to the following relevant parameters:
