A frequency‐locked stepping position servo system (FLSPS) is presented. The proposed microprocessor‐based sloped‐varied frequency‐controlled oscillator (SVFCO) is designed to achieve nearly the same acquisition times for different position commands. The slope‐varied technique is to quickly position for long distance servo during the wide‐range control. The motion profiles for position locking are adaptively built according to the periodically sampled frequency error. No motion profiles are required to be pre‐installed in the controller. The system model is built for stability investigation and simulation. A design example is realized to verify the theoretical predictions. System simulation and experimentation confirm that the system acquisition times for short, middle, and long distance servos are very close to each other. In comparison with the corresponding traditional stepping position system, the acquisition times of the FLSPS are improved by 53% and 73%.
