3.5.1 Getting started 
In order to use the positioning function, you must start the frequency inverter in 
Configuration 240, 440 or 540. If required, perform a motor measurement. Several 
functions will be readjusted as soon as you set up the configuration of the position-
ing operation. This includes the functions of the digital inputs. 
Warning!  Ensure that your parameterization corresponds to the connected termi-
nals. 
For commissioning, you must select different configurations for the following cases: 
Case Description
Possible Configuration 30 
1  Motor encoder is position encoder at the 
same time 
240, 540 
2  Two different encoders for motor and 
positioning 
240, 540 
3  No motor encoder, external encoder for 
positioning 
440 
3.5.1.1 Motor encoder is position encoder at the same time 
In slip-free systems, the motor encoder can be used as position encoder at the same 
time. By using one encoder for both functions, the overall costs can be reduced. 
Configuration 30 = 240 | 540, motor encoder = position encoder 
Encoder 1  Encoder 2  Motor controller

In the corresponding parameters, set up the properties of the encoders according to 
the wiring of Encoder 1 or Encoder 2. The parameters of Encoder 2 are available 
only if the corresponding extension module is connected. 
Adjust parameter 
Actual Speed Source 766 to connected encoder. 
Adjust parameter 
Actual Position Source 1141 to "0 - As P. 766 Actual Speed 
Source" (corresponds to factory settings).
