The marker offset contains the number of quadrature pulses or counts offset past the marker position that the shaft will 
travel before stopping at the orient position. When this value is 0 the shaft will stop at the marker position. The desired 
value may be found by running the drive and energizing the orient input. When the drive stops de-energize the run and 
orient inputs. Rotate the shaft to the desired position by hand or by jogging the drive using the run inputs. Read the 
value of U1-50: Marker Offset and enter it here. 
 
The value of U1-50 is a rolling counter ranging from 0 to the number of quadrature counts per revolution. The direction 
of rotation is irrelevant. The value indicates an absolute position to the marker position and is the same in either 
direction. 
 
This value may also be used to add counts to the positioning algorithm. Adding the number of positioning encoder 
quadrature counts per revolution increases the stopping distance by one revolution.

Q Q Q Q
 
The position speed is the minimum speed that may be used during positioning. This speed is also used when the shaft is 
within the number of quadrature counts set in P1-05: Position Count of the orient position. If this speed is set to high the 
drive will oscillate when trying to hold the orient position. The positioning algorithm will decrease the speed until zero 
speed is reached at the orient position or this speed is reached and maintained until the orient position.

Q Q Q Q
 
 
The position count is the number of quadrature counts before the orient position that the drive will hold the speed set in 
P1-04: Position Speed. This may be used to prevent overshooting the orient position. If this count is set to high the 
drive will slow down to soon and cause extended positioning times.

Count
Q Q Q Q
 
The stop count is the number of quadrature counts before and after the actual orient position that will not result in a 
correction. This creates a stop range that prevents oscillation while the drive is in zero servo. The effect of this is 
dependent on the position encoder’s resolution.
