By clicking the corresponding arrow keys for the axis in the main window of
PIMikroMove for example, it is possible to initiate motion over a particular distance
(specification in Step size column) or to the limits of the travel range.

6.6 Optimizing the Servo Control Parameters
Adjusting the PID controller optimizes the dynamic properties of the system (overshoot and
settling time). The optimum P-I-D controller settings depend on your application and your
requirements.
As a rule, optimization occurs empirically and involves the following parameters. For details, see
"Servo Algorithm and Other Control Value Corrections" (p. 21):
▪ P Term (0x411)
▪ I Term (0x412)
▪ D Term (0x413)
▪ I-Limit (0x414)
Various values are used in closed-loop operation and the behavior of the positioner is
monitored.
PIMikroMove is used in the following for optimizing the servo control parameters.
Requirement
✓ You have installed the positioner in the same way as it will be used in your application
(corresponding load, orientation, and mounting).
✓ You have started initial motion (p. 62) with PIMikroMove.
✓ All devices are still ready for operation.
