OK lets think WAY outside the box for a minute.
A simple servo drive IF you do not give it any input to move and you slightly rotate the shaft WILL return back to the position it was at(Up to the fault point). WHen it sees the encoder move it sends the move signal to the Motor to move back in the opposite direction to the setpoint. It knows where it was and how to get back there QUICKLY.
It will ACT just like a normal servo in it gives the motor a command to move and then watches the encoder to see when it gets there and stops.
