Inverter Positioning Section 5-3
Traditional Inverter Positioning
The PLC counts the feedback pulses from the encoder using a high-speed
counter. When a deceleration point is reached, the speed is changed to con-
trol the stop position. If the precision of the stop position must be increased,
the stop position must also be detected to control positioning.

Stopping position
is reached faster
due to high-speed
positioning error.
Stopping from a low speed is necessary to prevent positioning error.
The speed of high-speed operation produces error, requiring that
the deceleration start position be calculated and adjusted so that
a low speed is achieved near the stopping point.
The need for low-speed operation near the stopping position
increases the positioning time. PLC
