This is the final speed demand at the input to the speed regulator formed 
by the sum of the ramp output and the hard speed reference (if the hard 
speed reference is enabled). If the drive is disabled this parameter will 
show 0.0.
The speed feedback can be taken from the drive encoder port or 
tachometer or armature voltage or a position feedback module installed 
in any slot as selected with Fb01 (Pr 0.71, 3.26). di05 (Pr 0.40, 3.02) 
shows the level of the speed feedback selected for the speed controller. 
Display filtering is active when this parameter is viewed with one of the 
drive keypads. The value held in the drive parameter (accessible via 
comms or an option module) does not include this filter, but is a value 
that is obtained over a sliding 16 ms period to limit the ripple seen in this 
parameter value. The speed feedback value includes encoder 
quantization ripple given by the following equation:
Ripple in di05 (Pr 0.40, 3.02) = 60 / 16 ms / (ELPR x 4)
Where ELPR is the equivalent encoder lines per revolution as defined 
below:
For example a 4096 line Ab type encoder gives a ripple level of 0.23rpm. 
The 16 ms sliding window filter is always applied to the value 
shown in di05 (Pr 0.40, 3.02), but this sliding window filter is not 
normally applied to the actual speed feedback used by the speed 
controller or the drive encoder reference system (Pr 3.43 to 
Pr 3.46). The user may apply a filter to the speed controller input and the 
drive encoder reference system input if required by setting Pr 3.42 to the 
required filter time. The encoder ripple seen by the speed controller is 
given by:
Encoder speed ripple = 60 / Filter time / (ELPR x 4) 
If Pr 3.42 is set to zero (no filter) the ripple seen by the speed controller 
and drive encoder reference system is given by:
Encoder speed ripple = 60 / 250s / (ELPR x 4)
Figure 6-1 
Figure 6-1 shows the filter arrangement. It should be noted that the 
same filtering is provided at the speed controller input and for di05 (Pr 
0.40, 3.02) when the feedback is obtained from an option module, but 
the variable length window filter is controlled by Pr x.19.
It is not advisable to set the speed feedback filter too high unless it is 
specifically required for high inertia applications with high controller 
gains because the filter has a non-linear transfer function. It is preferable 
to use the current demand filters (see Pr 4.12 or Pr 4.23) as these are 
linear first order filters that provide filtering on noise generated from both 
the speed reference and the speed feedback. It should be noted that any 
filtering included within the speed controller feedback loop, either on the 
speed feedback or the current demand, introduces a delay and limits the 
maximum bandwidth of the controller for stable operation. 
The speed ripple can be quite high, for example with a 4096 line encoder 
the speed ripple is 14.6rpm, but this does not define the resolution of the 
speed feedback which is normally much better and depends on the 
length of the measuring period used to obtain the feedback. This is 
shown in the improved resolution of the value accessible in di05 
(Pr 0.40, 3.02) which is measured over 16 ms, i.e. a resolution of 
0.23rpm with a 4096 line encoder. The speed controller itself 
accumulates all pulses from the encoder, and so the speed controller 
resolution is not limited by the feedback, but by the resolution of the 
speed reference. If a SINCOS encoder is used from an option the 
encoder speed ripple is reduced by a factor of 2(
2-Interpolation bits
). For 
example with the nominal 10 bits of interpolation information, the speed 
ripple is reduced by a factor of 256. This shows how a SINCOS encoder 
can reduce noise caused by encoder quantization without any filtering in 
the speed feedback or the current demand, so that high gains may be 
used to give high dynamic performance and a very stiff system.
The output of the speed regulator is a torque demand given as a 
percentage of rated motor torque. This is then modified to account for 
changes in motor flux if field weakening is active, and then used as the 
torque producing current reference.
The torque demand can be derived from the speed controller and/or the 
torque reference and offset. The units of the torque demand are a % of 
rated torque.
