Once you have selected the servo hardware, you are prompted to select the
type of servo loop you will be using.
b. Select a Servo Loop Type. This is the type of servo loop(s) you
expect the 9/SERIES control to close. Select between:
Servo Loop Type: Results in:
None This is the default setting that the control uses when no loop type has
been selected. The control stays in E-stop if an axis type has been
defined, and no loop type has been defined.
Position or Spindle The control closes the position loop only. However, this selection is
also used for spindles (excluding digital spindles) and depth probes.
Position/Velocity The control will close both the position loop and the velocity loop.
Separate devices or the same feedback device can be used to close
both the position and velocity loops.
Digital The control will close both the position and the velocity loop.
Additionally, motor information necessary for proper commutation is
also provided for digital drive systems. This must be selected for all
digital drive systems (including 1394 systems as spindles)
Once you have selected the servo hardware type and servo loop type,
additional AMP parameters become available to you for configuration in
the Servo Parameters Group.
The control can be configured for display and input in several different
types of units. To select units of the open AMP file:
1. Press [F3] to pull down the Options menu.
