9.4.5  Closed-loop position control 
Description 
The "Closed-loop position control" function module includes: 
●  Actual position value preparation (including subordinate measuring probe evaluation and 
reference mark search) 
●  Position controller (including limitation, adaptation and pre-control calculation) 
●  Monitoring (including zero-speed, positioning, dynamic following error monitoring system 
and cam signals) 
●  Position tracking of the load gearbox (motor encoder) when using absolute encoders for 
rotary axes (modulo) 
Actual position value calculation for distance-coded measuring systems is not yet available. 
Commissioning 
The "Closed-loop position control" function module can be activated using the drive 
characteristics dialog. 
When the "basic positioner" function module (r0108.4 = 1) is activated, the "closed-loop 
position control" function module (r0108.3) is automatically activated. 
The current configuration can be checked in parameter r0108.3. 
The position controller can be parameterized in a user-friendly fashion using the screen 
forms in STARTER. 
The "closed-loop position control" function module is essential for operating the basic 
positioner. 
 
 
Note 
If the "position control" function module is active, and to optimize the speed controller, a 
function generator signal is interconnected to the speed controller input p1160, then the 
position controller monitoring functions respond.  
To prevent this from happening, the position controller must be disabled (p2550 = 0) and 
tracking mode must be activated (p2655 = 1, for control using PROFIdrive telegram 110 
PosSTW.0 = 1). In this way, the monitoring functions are switched off and the position 
setpoint is tracked.
