4.6.7 Positioning Near Output Signal (/NEAR)
Before confirming that the positioning completed signal has been received, the host controller first receives a
positioning near signal and can prepare the operating sequence after positioning has been completed. The time
required for this sequence after positioning can be shortened.
This signal is generally used in combination with the positioning completed output signal.
Note: Use parameter Pn510.0 to allocate the /NEAR signal for use. Refer to 3.4.2 Output Signal Allocations for details.
The positioning near signal (/NEAR) is output when the difference between the number of references output
by the host controller and the travel distance of the servomotor (position error) is less than the set value.
Note: Normally, the value of Pn524 should be larger than that for the positioning completed width (Pn522).
4.6.8 Speed Limit Detection Signal (/VLT)
This function limits the speed of the servomotor to protect the machine.
A servomotor in torque control is controlled to output the specified torque, but the motor speed is not con-
trolled. Therefore, if an excessive reference torque is set for the load torque on the machinery side, the speed
of the servomotor may increase greatly. If that may occur, use this function to limit the speed.
Note: The actual limit value of motor speed depends on the load conditions of the servomotor.
Refer to the following parameters for speed limit.
