Procedure
To perform automatic setting of the position controller, proceed as follows:
1. Select the "Target System" > "Automatic Controller Setting" menu command.
2. Select the drive unit and the drive (axis).

4. Click "Assume control priority" to assume control priority.
5. Click the "Drive ON" button to enable the drive.
Perform the steps either in automatic mode or as individual steps.
6. Select the axis data sets to which the Kv factor is to be transferred.
7. Click "Accept values" to transfer the calculated Kv factor to the axis data sets.
8. Disable the drive by clicking the "Drive OFF" button.
9. Give up the control priority of the programming device/PC.
10. Save the online parameters.
You can now transfer the parameters that you have automatically set to the project.
