5.14 Optimizing the drive and controller
5.14.1 Overview of automatic controller setting
Overview
SIMOTION SCOUT offers an automatic controller setting wizard that can be used for drive
controller optimization.
In the "Automatic Controller Setting" screen form, you can automatically set the speed
controller and the DSC (dynamic servo control) position controller for SINAMICS drive units.
The necessary steps for this calculation can be controlled using this screen form. The
calculated parameter values for the speed controller or position controller are displayed and
can then be transferred online to the drive or axis on the controller.
The automatic control setting is made from the "Target system" > "Automatic control setting"
menu.
For a detailed description of the parameters that can be set, refer to the
SIMOTION SCOUT
online help.
