Important notes for parameterization 
The function always requires a direct measuring system. If an axis is equipped with a 
measuring system (encoder 2 or encoder 3), then this can be selected using p3701. BICO 
sink p3749 can be activated by setting p3700.9 = 1. The load speed actual value can now be 
freely interconnected, e.g. from a master axis. Scaling can be set using p3748. 
An external acceleration sensor can be used as direct measuring system. This must be 
integrated in the system (e.g. using TM31) - and connected with BICO sink p3750. To 
eliminate low-frequency disturbances from the measurement signal, a highpass filter can be 
parameterized using p3751. The acceleration sensor for APC is activated with p3700.1 = 1. 
There are two feedback branches for this function. Each branch is parameterized using a 
gain factor (p3761 and p3766). Frequently, practical values for the gain lie in a range 
between 1 ms and 10 ms; however, this depends on the mechanical system of the axis. 
Filters can be activated for both branches (see function diagram and Chapter "Additional 
information (Page 619)").  
For applications where a high contour precision is required (in the mold making area) we 
recommend that p3700.3 is set = 1. As a consequence, the setpoint motion of the axis within 
APC is better taken into account. 
The following measuring functions can be used to measure the "APC with acceleration 
feedback" function: 
●  APC open circuit 
●  APC closed circuit 
●  Speed controller reference frequency response 
●  Position controller reference frequency response 
You can find detailed information on how to perform these measurements in Chapter 
"Measuring frequency responses (Page 622)".
