DMC-40x0 Command Reference PL • 189
PL
FUNCTION: Pole
DESCRIPTION:
The PL command adds a low-pass filter in series with the PID compensation. The digital transfer
function of the filter is (1 - n) / (Z - n) and the equivalent continuous filter is A/(S+A) where
A is the filter cutoff frequency: A=(1/T) ln (1 / n) rad/sec and T is the sample time.
To convert from the desired crossover (-3 dB) frequency in Hertz to the value given to PL, use the
following formula:

where:
n is the argument given to PL
T is the controller’s servo loop sample time in seconds (TM divided by 1,000,000)
f
c
is the crossover frequency in Hertz

ARGUMENTS: PL n,n,n,n,n,n,n,n or PLA=n where
n is a positive number in the range 0 to 0.9999.
n = ? Returns the value of the pole filter for the specified axis.
