Sampling times of the individual control loops (at switching frequency of 
8kHz)
 Currentcontroller=62.5μs
 Speedcontroller=125µs
 Positioncontroller=125µs
The control system is set up in a cascaded configuration. The position, speed and 
current controllers are configured in sequence. The sequence of controller setup 
must always be observed in controller optimization.

7.1.1Setting
When using a standard Moog motor data set, the control parameters are preset for 
the specific motor model (external mass inertia = motor inertia). If using third-party 
motors, a manual setting must be made for the drive by way of the motor 
identification or by calculation in order to define the appropriate control parameters 
for the motor model.
7.1.1.1Speedcontrolcircuit
The setting of the speed controller with the associated filters is dependent on the 
motor parameters (moment of inertia, torque/force constant, load inertia/mass, 
friction, rigidity of the connection and encoder quality). Consequently, a manual or 
automatic optimization is often required.

7.1.1.2Positioncontrolloop
The position control loop is dependent on the dynamism of the underlying speed 
controller, on the setpoint (reference) type and on the jerk, acceleration and 
interpolation methods.
