2 − Torque Mode Tuning (see pages 39–42)
a. Set Max Speed to the maximum speed you want to limit the motor to.
b. Kp, Ki, and Kd typically do not need to be changed as the default values will
work well in most applications. ese parameters control how tightly the
controller limits the speed of the motor to the programmed Max Speed.
c. Set Typical Max Speed to the expected maximum speed of the motor.
d. Adjust the parameters shown in Figure 9 to set up the throttle mapping:
• Drive Current Limit (Current Limits menu)
• Regen Current Limit (Current Limits menu)
• Forward/Back Full Restraint Speed (Torque Mode » Response menu)
• Brake Taper Speed (Torque Mode » Response » Fine Tuning menu)
• Neutral Braking (Torque Mode » Response menu)
• Neutral Taper Speed (Torque Mode » Response menu)
• Creep Torque (Torque Mode » Response » Fine Tuning menu).
e. In the Torque Mode » Response menu, adjust the four accel, decel, and
release rate parameters as necessary while moving the throttle to dierent
positions (i.e., neutral to full throttle, half throttle to full throttle, full throttle
to half throttle, full throttle to neutral, neutral to low throttle, etc.).
f. e other parameters in the Torque Mode » Response » Fine Tuning menu typically may need
to be changed for some applications. Read the parameter descriptions and adjust as necessary.
