There are many applications where precise position control is required. For these applications, it is difficult to balance the many tuning parameters that are required. InstaSPIN-MOTION features accurate position, speed, and torque control with combined position and speed single-variable tuning (see Figure 4-4). This simplifies the tuning challenge and allows you to focus on your application and not on tuning your motor. Position applications require a mechanical sensor in order to precisely identify the motor angle at zero and very low speeds. The FAST Software Encoder may provide redundancy in position control applications; this can be used as a safety feature in case the mechanical encoder fails.
