Ascertaining the 
initial values 
(standard setting)
1. Ascertain the machine frequency
With the nominal position value filters you limit the bandwidth of the given 
nominal value. To do so, you have to enter the cutoff frequency of the machine 
in MP_frequency. The following guideline explains how to determine the 
machine frequency.
Prepare measurement: 
 Preferably select the advanced HSC filter for the measurement:
MP_shape = AdvancedHSC
 Define a start value for the tolerance:
MP_pathTolerance = 0.02
 Define a start value for the filter cutoff frequency:
MP_frequency = 50
If required, limit the cutoff frequency step by step (this increases the filter 
damping) until the oscillation is reduced.
 Carry out the adjustment with a suitable NC program. The TNCopt software 
from HEIDENHAIN features the "FF_100_[axis].h" NC programs for 
feedforward adjustment.
 With the integrated oscilloscope, record the signals v nom, v act and the 
following error (servo lag) s-diff.
Proceed as follows to ascertain the resonance frequency of the machine:
 Increase the jerk for the measurement to achieve a more intensive machine 
excitation.
MP_axTransJerk: Set a very high value
 Observe the oscillation of the following error in the constant speed range.
 Determine the amplitude duration of the oscillation and calculate the 
resonance frequency of the axis from it.
 Compare the frequencies of the individual axes.
 Select the lowest frequency of all linear axes for the default setting of the 
position filter (defaultPosition).
Reset the parameters to the original values at the end of the measurement!
