Description

A value of 0 disables the modulo-position and a value of 1 enables the modulo-position feature. The modulo-position feature can be used for circular applications such as round tables.

The position loop of the drive uses always a linear position variable but the data-exchange between the user and the drive uses the modulo-position calculation in order to convert values from linear format into modulo format and vice versa.

The following figure shows the interface between the user and the drive for PL.MODPEN=1:
