The motor and load inertia represents the total inertia driven by the motor. This is used to set the speed controller gains (see Pr 3.13 on page 46) and
to provide torque feed-forwards during acceleration when required. (see Pr 4.11 on page 72) (It is possible to measure the inertia as part of the auto-
tune process, see Pr 5.12 on page 81.
The compliance angle is the required angular displacement when the drive delivers a torque producing current equivalent to the current scaling (Kc)
with no field weakening.
The bandwidth is defined as the theoretical 3dB point on the closed-loop gain characteristic of the speed controller as a second order system. At this
point the phase shift is approximately 60°. This parameter is used to define the bandwidth used for setting up the speed loop gain parameters
automatically when Pr 3.17 = 1.
This is the damping factor related to the response of the system to a torque transient, and so if the damping factor is unity the response to a load
torque transient is critically damped. The step response of the speed controller gives approximately 10% overshoot with unity damping factor.
This parameter is used to define the damping factor used for setting up the speed loop gain parameters automatically when Pr 3.17 = 1 or 2.
