Adjusting the servo 
amplifier
Please note:
 Adjust the offset according to the information given by the drive 
manufacturer.
 Adjust the proportional (P) component and the integral-action (I) component 
of the speed controller at the servo amplifier.
 Check the polarity of the tachometer signal of the drive by using a battery 
box, for example.
HEIDENHAIN recommends:
Use a voltage of 9 V for rapid traverse to ensure optimum utilization of the 
voltage range of +/– 10 V and to attain optimum control loop performance for 
the axis. The axis velocity to be expected (in [mm/min]) is defined in machine 
parameter MP_maxFeedAt9V. Enter the rapid traverse rate in the machine 
parameter.
Adjust the servo amplifier before optimizing the position controller.
For instructions on adjustment, refer to the information given by the 
manufacturer of your servo amplifier.
A servo amplifier that has been adjusted according to the information given 
by the manufacturer is the basic prerequisite for putting the machine into 
service.
