Velocity Proportional – Manual Tuning Test
This test finds the optimal value for MC_2x22 (velocity proportional gain).
This is accomplished by increasing it (suggested initial value 5, increment
value 1) until the energy percentage gets close to 100% (axis will start to
make a loud noise).
At this time, press Save (F10). The found value times 0.5 is automatically
stored and loaded in the control.
Every time the Start key is pressed, a plot of the step response, the
loaded MC_2x22 value, the energy percentage and the oscillation
frequency are shown on the MST test window.
Velocity Integral – Manual Tuning Test
This test finds the optimal value for MC_2x23 (velocity integral time
constant). This is accomplished by decreasing it (by pressing D) in small
steps (suggested initial value 0.1, increment value 0.001) until the Count
Diff. (difference between commanded and feedback velocity at steady
state) value is zero or is very close to zero (less than 2 counts).
At this time, press Save (F10). The values for MC_2x22 and MC_2x23
are automatically stored and loaded in the control.
Every time the Start key is pressed, a plot of the step response, the
loaded MC_2x22 and MC_2x23 values, the count difference and the rise
time are shown on the MST screen.
Position Proportional – Manual Tuning Test
This test finds the optimal value for MC_2x26 (position proportional gain).
This is accomplished by increasing it in small steps (suggested initial
value 10, increment value 1) until a little overshoot is present in the step
response.
At this time, start decreasing MC_2x26 until the overshoot disappears.
Press Save (F10). The value for MC_2x26 is automatically stored and
loaded in the control.
Every time the Start key is pressed, a plot of the position step response,
the loaded MC_2x26 and the overshoot are shown on the MST screen.
Acceleration Feedforward – Manual Tuning Test
This test finds the optimal value for MC_2x29 (acceleration feedforward
gain). This is accomplished by increasing it in small steps (suggested
initial value 0, increment value 10) until the point in which the maximum
lag value stops decreasing and starts to increase (overcompensation
starts).
At this time, press Save (F10
). The value for MC_2x29 is automatically
stored and loaded in the control.
