5.11 Control Loops 
There are three loops that can be closed by DS2110, depending on the mode of operation of the drive. These 
torque, velocity and position loops are nested inside each other, with the output of each compensator, being the 
reference for the next inner loop. 
•  In torque mode only the torque/current loop is closed, with a torque set-point or demand selected by the 
user. 
•  In velocity mode, the velocity compensator output is input to the current loop, with a velocity demand set 
by the user. 
•  In position mode, the position compensator output is input to the velocity loop, with the velocity 
compensator output in turn input to the current loop. Again the user sets the position demand. 
The diagram below shows the overall control loop structure.
