Characteristics of a control loop setpoint response
T
Sr
: Response time. (Time elapsing until the control variable reaches one of the
+-5% tolerance limits for the first time)
T
S
: Settling time. (Time elapsing until the control variable ultimately enters the +-
5% range)
V
m
: maximum overshoot width
1 Tolerance range +-5%
2 Setpoint value
Response
The response of the controller is the behavior of the actual value with respect to the
calculated profile of the setpoint generator. The kinematic status variables, speed,
acceleration and jerk are fed into the cascade as feedforward signals. The
feedforward signals work with calculated factors and contribute to an improved
contour constancy due to the minimization of the following error.

Limitation behavior
Each control variable is limited by the control (actuating) element. If the control
variable demanded by the controller is within the linear range (without limitation),
the control loop shows the behavior defined by the design. If the controller
demands however a higher control variable than permitted by the limitation, the
control variable is limited and the controller slows down.
You should therefore make sure that the control variable (output) of the controller
does not remain within the limitation or only for a very short time.
