indicated in the detailed explanation field. 
 
Function Description 
Detailed 
explanation 
Position control mode  This servo is used as a position control servo. 
Section 3.2.1 
Section 3.6.1 
Section 4.2 
Speed control mode  This servo is used as a speed control servo. 
Section 3.2.2 
Section 3.6.2 
Section 4.3 
Torque control mode  This servo is used as a torque control servo. 
Section 3.2.3 
Section 3.6.3 
Section 4.4 
Position/speed control 
change mode 
Using an input device, control can be switched between position control and speed 
control. 
Section 3.6.4 
Speed/torque control change 
mode 
Using an input device, control can be switched between speed control and torque 
control. 
Section 3.6.5 
Torque/position control 
change mode 
Using an input device, control can be switched between torque control and position 
control. 
Section 3.6.6 
High-resolution encoder 
High-resolution encoder of 4194304 pulses/rev is used as the encoder of the rotary 
servo motor compatible with the MELSERVO-J4 series. 
 
Absolute position detection 
system 
Merely setting a home position once makes home position return unnecessary at 
every power-on. 
Chapter 12 
Gain switching function 
You can switch gains during rotation and during stop, and can use an input device to 
switch gains during operation. 
Section 7.2 
Advanced vibration 
suppression control II 
This function suppresses vibration at the arm end or residual vibration.  Section 7.1.5 
Machine resonance 
suppression filter 
This is a filter function (notch filter) which decreases the gain of the specific frequency 
to suppress the resonance of the mechanical system. 
Section 7.1.1 
Shaft resonance suppression 
filter 
When a load is mounted to the servo motor shaft, resonance by shaft torsion during 
driving may generate a mechanical vibration at high frequency. The shaft resonance 
suppression filter suppresses the vibration. 
Section 7.1.3 
Adaptive filter II 
Servo amplifier detects mechanical resonance and sets filter characteristics 
automatically to suppress mechanical vibration. 
Section 7.1.2 
Low-pass filter 
Suppresses high-frequency resonance which occurs as servo system response is 
increased. 
Section 7.1.4 
Machine analyzer function 
Analyzes the frequency characteristic of the mechanical system by simply connecting 
an MR Configurator2 installed personal computer and servo amplifier. 
MR Configurator2 is necessary for this function. 
 
Robust filter 
This function provides better disturbance response in case low response level that 
load to motor inertia ratio is high for such as roll send axes.

Slight vibration suppression 
control 
Suppresses vibration of ±1 pulse produced at a servo motor stop.  [Pr. PB24] 
Electronic gear  Input pulses can be multiplied by 1/10 to 4000. 
[Pr. PA06] 
[Pr. PA07] 
S-pattern 
acceleration/deceleration time 
constant 
Speed can be increased and decreased smoothly.  [Pr. PC03] 
Auto tuning 
Automatically adjusts the gain to optimum value if load applied to the servo motor 
shaft varies. 
Section 6.3 
Brake unit 
Used when the regenerative option cannot provide enough regenerative power. 
Can be used for the 5 kW or more servo amplifier. 
Section 11.3 
Power regeneration converter 
Used when the regenerative option cannot provide enough regenerative power. 
Can be used for the 5 kW or more servo amplifier. 
Section 11.4 
Regenerative option 
Used when the built-in regenerative resistor of the servo amplifier does not have 
sufficient regenerative capability for the large regenerative power generated. 
Section 11.2 
Alarm history clear  Alarm history is cleared.  [Pr. PC18] 
Input signal selection (device 
settings) 
ST1 (Forward rotation start), ST2 (Reverse rotation start), and SON (Servo-on) and 
other input device can be assigned to any pins.
