To enable the jerk filter to be optimally matched to the machine conditions, various filter 
modes are available: 
•  2nd-order filter (PT2) 
•  Sliding mean value generation 
•  Bandstop filter 
Mode: 2nd-order filter 
Owing to the fact that it is a simple low-pass filter, "2nd-order filter" mode can only meet the 
requirements specified above where relatively small filter time constants (around 10 ms) are 
concerned. When used in conjunction with larger time constants, impermissible contour 
deviations are soon manifest. The effect of the filter is relatively limited. 
This filter mode has its advantages, where very large filter time constants are concerned but 
the contour accuracy is only of secondary importance (e.g. positioning axes).  
For historical reasons, this filter mode is set as the default. 
Mode: Sliding mean value generation 
Where minimal contour deviations are required, filter time constants within the range of 20-
40 ms can be set using the "sliding mean value generation" filter mode. The smoothing effect 
is largely symmetrical. 
The display of the calculated servo gain factor (KV factor), e.g., in the HMI Advanced "Axes" 
service screen form, shows smaller values than would normally be expected for the filter. 
The contour accuracy is in fact higher than the displayed KV filter appears to suggest.  
When changing from "2nd-order filter" to "sliding mean value generation" filter mode, the 
displayed KV factor may, therefore, drop (with identical filter time constant), even though 
there is an improvement in contour accuracy. 
Mode: Bandstop filter 
The bandstop filter is a 2nd-order filter in terms of numerator and denominator:
