4.12 Position Controller 
The position controller evaluates the positioning operation (target/actual position) 
and tries to control the drive such that it comes as close as possible to the specifica-
tions. For this purpose, an additional frequency is calculated for compensation of 
position deviations. By setting the corresponding parameter, this frequency can be 
limited. The parameter settings of the position controller determine how quick and 
to what extent position deviations are to be compensated. 
Via parameter 
Time Constant 1104, you can define the maximum time in which the 
position deviation is to be compensated. 
Via parameter 
Limitation 1118, you can define to which value the speed is limited 
for compensation of the position deviation.

 Example: 
Position deviates by 1 motor shaft revolution, time constant is set to 1 ms. The posi-
tion controller will increase the motor frequency by 1000 Hz in order to compensate 
the position deviation. Parameter 
Limitation 1118 must be set accordingly.
