8.5.2. Digital Filter
Caution : Use of multi-stage filters may cause the velocity loop to be out of phase,
and it may cause unstable Motor operation.
Caution : Do not use three or more filters. If the filter frequency is too low, hunting
may occur. It is recommended to set the filter frequency greater than 100
[Hz].
The digital filter filters the torque command, which is the output of velocity loop. There are two kinds of
filter: the low-pass filter and notch filter.
Te digital filters are used for reducing in resonant noise and vibration.

Refer to “9. Details of Commands and Parameters” for details of parameters.
The figure below shows the change in the characteristics of notch filter by the parameters NPQ and NSQ
(Notch filter, primary Q parameter)
The smaller the notch filter Q is, the wider frequency control is possible, centering around the
frequency set by the notch filter.
