The method involves changing the triple-loop cascade control to a dual-loop control architecture with an integrated outer loop for position and speed control and an inner loop for current control.

In the last few years, the use of electric servo technology has expanded rapidly into applications that have traditionally been deprived of the benefits of high-performance motion control.
