January 2012 6.16 The Control Loop 843
Controller output 
limit
The controller output limit MP_controlOutputLimit is used only during 
switch-on of position control without actual-to-nominal value transfer. 
Example:
Clamped or hanging axes cause a following error when the position control 
loop is open. When closing the control loop without actual-to-nominal value 
transfer, this difference in the position is corrected by the MANUALplus 620. 
The deviation is corrected at the maximum feed rate entered in 
MP_controlOutputLimit.
If MP_controlOutputLimit = 0, the resulting following error is not corrected 
until the next positioning block.

Feedback control 
with velocity 
feedforward
For feedback control with velocity feedforward, the nominal velocity value 
consists of an open-loop and a closed-loop component.
The machine-adjusted nominal velocity value is the open-loop controlled 
component. The closed-loop velocity component is calculated through the 
following error. The following error is small.
The axis parameters entered for jerk and acceleration have no effect. Enter 
only values that are non-critical to the axis.
HEIDENHAIN recommends:
In MP_controlOutputLimit, enter a value that is approximately 
0.1 · MP_manualFeed.
