This parameter enables sequencer latching. When sequencer latching is 
used, a digital input must be used as a run permit or not stop input. The 
digital input should write to Pr 6.39. The run permit or not stop input must 
be made active to allow the drive to run. Making the run permit or not 
stop input inactive resets the latch and stops the drive.
11.23.6     Catch a spinning motor
When the drive is enabled with this parameter at zero, the post ramp 
reference (Pr 2.01 (di03, 0.38)) starts at zero and ramps to the required 
reference. When the drive is enabled with this parameter at one, the post 
ramp reference is set to the motor speed. 
11.23.7     Position modes
This parameter is used to set the position controller mode as shown in 
the following table. 
Rigid position control
In rigid position control the position error is always accumulated. This 
means that, if for example, the slave shaft is slowed down due to 
excessive load, the target position will eventually be recovered by 
running at a higher speed when the load is removed.
Non-rigid position control
In non-rigid position control the position loop is only active when the 'At 
Speed' condition is met (see Pr 3.06 in the Mentor MP Advanced User 
Guide). This allows slippage to occur while the speed error is high. 
Velocity feed forward
The position controller can generate a velocity feed forward value from 
the speed of the reference encoder. The feed-forward value is passed to 
menu 1, and so ramps may be included if required. Because the position 
controller only has a proportional gain, it is necessary to use velocity 
feed-forward to prevent a constant position error that would be 
proportional to the speed of the reference position.
If for any reason the user wishes to provide the velocity feed forward 
from a source other than the reference position, the feed forward system 
can be made inactive, i.e. Pr 13.10 = 2 or 4. The external feed forward 
can be provided via Menu 1 from any of the frequency/speed references. 
However, if the feed forward level is not correct a constant position error 
will exist.
Relative jogging
If relative jogging is enabled the feedback position can be made to move 
relative to the reference position at the speed defined by Pr 13.17.
Orientation
If Pr 13.10 is 5 the drive orientates the motor following a stop command. 
If hold zero speed is enabled (Pr 6.08 = 1) the drive remains in position 
control when orientation is complete and holds the orientation position. If 
hold zero speed is not enabled the drive is disabled when orientation is 
complete. 
If Pr 13.10 is 6 the drive orientates the motor following a stop command 
and whenever the drive is enabled provided that hold zero speed is 
enabled (Pr 6.08 = 1). This ensures that the spindle is always held in the 
same position following the drive being enabled.
When orientating from a stop command the drive goes through the fol-
lowing sequence:
1. The motor is decelerated or accelerated to the speed limit pro-
grammed in Pr 13.12, using ramps if these are enabled, in the 
direction the motor was previously running.
2. When the ramp output reaches the speed set in Pr 13.12, ramps 
are disabled and the motor continues to rotate until the position is 
found to be close to the target position (i.e. within 1/32 of a revolu-
tion). At this point the speed demand is set to 0 and the position 
loop is closed.
3. When the position is within the window defined by Pr 13.14, the ori-
entation complete indication is given in Pr 13.15.
The stop mode selected by Pr 6.01 has no effect if orientation is 
enabled.
