7.20 Position Control Function 
The DS402 standard defines a number of parameters related to position, which are particularly relevant when in 
position mode. In addition it also defines windowing functions that are used to determine if a target position has 
been reached (actual position is within a certain window of the target position), or if a following error exists (actual 
position is within a certain window of the demand position). Parameters for configuration and tuning of the position 
loop are manufacturer specific. The DS402 parameters that are defined are listed below: 
Figure 7.34 Position control function 
Index Name  Type Comment 
0x6062  ds402 position demand value  S32  Output from Demand Block in position units. 
0x6063  ds402 position actual value inc*  S32  Actual value from the position measurement device, in 
incs. 
0x6064  ds402 position actual value  S32  Actual value from the position measurement device, in 
pos. units. 
0x6065  ds402 following error window  U32  The Delta between demand and actual position, if greater 
than this window (in position units), will set the 
following error bit in the status word. 
0x6067  ds402 position window  U32  The Delta between target and actual position, if less than 
or equal to this window, (in position units) it will set the 
target reached bit in the status word. 
0x60FC  ds402 position demand value inc*  S32  Output from Demand Block in units of increments. 
* Is used in DS402 to indicate it is in increments rather than position units. 
Table 7.26 Table of position control function parameters 
In addition a position control parameter set has been defined. It is a grouping of existing drive parameters, into a 
single ds402 record, (under parameter number 0x60FB). This record is included in the position control table of 
parameters on the following page. 
GENERAL ISSUES 
1.  Position Window and Following Error Window are only used in position modes. 
2.  Position Actual Value and Position Actual Value* are both relative to the home/zero position.
