Operation
■ Setting the Gain Adjustment Rotary Switch during Online Autotuning
• Setting the gain adjustment rotary switch during online autotuning sets the servo system’s target
speed loop gain and position loop gain.
• Select a switch setting from the following 10 levels (switches A to F are the same setting) to suit the
mechanical system.
Note The servo system loop gain will increase in response to a higher switch setting value, shorten-
ing positioning time. If the setting is too large, however, the machinery may vibrate. Reduce the
setting if vibration is a problem.
4-5-2 Manual Tuning
■ Manually Tuning
• If online autotuning operations are not effective, tune the system using only the gain adjustment
rotary switch.
• When the load inertia fluctuates below 200 ms or less
• When the rotation speed does not exceed 500 r/min, or when the output torque does not ex-
ceed 50% of the rated torque
• When an external force is always imposed, such as with a vertical axis
• When the load rigidity is low, or when the adhesive friction is high
