Activating Position Control

The position control is only available for actuators with position feedback (EMS 17 … 23, EMS DRV 400). With position control switched on, the actuator stops in the traversed to position when in manual mode, independently of any external forces acting on the drive.

You activate the position control in the Actuator setting menu.
