5.3.5 Zero Clamp Function
The zero clamp function locks the servo when the input voltage of the speed reference (V-REF) drops below
the speed set in the zero clamp level (Pn501) while the zero clamp signal (/P-CON or /ZCLAMP) is ON. The
SERVOPACK internally forms a position loop, ignoring the speed reference.
The zero clamp function is used for systems in which the host controller does not form a position loop for the
speed reference input.
The servomotor is clamped within one pulse of the position when the zero clamp function is turned ON, and
will still return to the zero clamp position even if it is forcibly rotated by external force.
Adjust the position loop gain (Pn102) if the servomotor oscillates in the zero clamp state. If the gain switching
function is used, adjusting the 2nd position loop gain (Pn106) is required as well. For details, refer to 6.8.1
Switching Gain Settings.
(1) Factory-set Input Signal Allocations (Pn50A.0 = 0)
When Pn000.1 is set to A, the control method becomes "speed control <=> speed control with zero clamp
function" and the /P-CON signal is used as a zero clamp signal.
