As shown in the figure above, a position control loop is formed in the host controller. The
host controller compares a position reference with a position feedback signal and sends
processing results to the Servopack as a speed reference.
In this way, the host controller can freely perform the control required for the servo mech-
anism.
The Servopack undertakes the speed control loop and subsequent control processing.
Yaskawa programmable machine controller PROGIC-8 is available as a typical host con-
troller.
