8.7 Calculations
WorkBench uses the following equations to calculate parameter values.
8.7.1 Current Loop
The current loop proportional gain (IL.KP) must be such that the current loop closed loop crossover frequen-
cy/bandwidth (BW) nominal is the lesser of 2000 Hz or (PWM Frequency/4).
Then, with this frequency:
IL.KP = 2*π*(desired bandwidth in Hz)*(motor L line-line in H)
Setting the D and Q components
8.7.2 Velocity Loop
VL.KP = (2*π*75)*(2*Jm/Kt) = 300*PI*Jm/Kt
VL.KI = 5
8.7.3 Position Loop
PL.KP = ??
8.7.4 Slider Tuning
The slider tuning algorithm in WorkBench currently uses the following algorithm.
8.7.4.1 Input - Motor Data
The values for inertia, Jm (Kg / cm2), and torque constant, Kt (Nm/A), are obtained from either the SFD or the
motor model number that you select.
8.7.4.2 Constants
Velocity Loop Bandwidth – BW = The default value is 75Hz.
Input - Inertia Ratio – Q = The default is 1.
8.7.4.3 Output - Control Loop Gains
VL.KP = 2 * π * BW * Jm * (1+Q) * 0.0001/Kt
VL.KPI = BW*0.08 -1 (minimum of 1)
PL.KP = BW/5
8.8 Foldback
Thefoldback featurein theAKD protects boththemotorandthedrive from overheating. Twocurrent foldback algo-
rithms runinparallelinthedrive: thedrivefoldback algorithmandthe motorfoldback algorithm. Eachalgorithmuses
different sets of parameters. Eachalgorithm has its ownfoldback current limit, IL.DIFOLD (drive foldback)andIL.M-
IFOLD (motorfoldback). The overall foldback current limit is theminimum of thetwoat any givenmoment.
IL.IFOLD = min (IL.DIFOLD, IL.MIFOLD).
