6.7 Optimizing the positioning behaviour
When the axis and application parameters as well as the sys
tem identification and adaption have been entered, the
closed loop controller of the SPC200 will be automatically set
so that optimum positioning behaviour is achieved. If, how
ever, optimization is still required, you will find the necessary
information in this section.
6.7.1 Basic information on control
The basis for controlling the pneumatic axis is a model posi
tioning path in the SPC200. This model assumes that there is
a pneumatic axis set up according to specifications, e.g. in
respect of:
 the supply of compressed air
 the valve−cylinder combination used
 the permitted mass load
 the size and length of the tubing,
etc.
The basis parameters of this positioning path are:
 the axis and application parameters to be entered
 internal data calculated by the system identification and
by adaption.
System identifikation During commissioning, variables such as speed, acceleration
ability, friction and valve characteristics of the axis are ascer
tained by the system identification.
