Since a vibration-capable filter setting is not expected to yield useful results in any case, as 
with the jerk filter's "2nd-order filter" (PT2) low-pass filter (PT2) mode there is no setting op-
tion for the denominator damping D
N
. The denominator damping D
N
 is permanently set to 1. 
The bandstop filter can be parameterized in 2 different ways: 
•  Real bandstop filter 
•  Bandstop filter with additional amplitude response increase/decrease at high frequencies 
Real bandstop filter 
The real bandstop filter is applied when identical numerator and denominator natural 
frequencies are selected: 
•  f
Z
 = f
N
 = f
block
 (blocking frequency) 
If numerator damping setting = 0 is selected, the blocking frequency is equivalent to 
complete attenuation. In this case the 3 dB bandwidth is calculated as follows: 
•  f
3 dB bandwidth
 = 2 * f
block
 
If instead of complete attenuation, a reduction by a factor of k is all that is required, then 
numerator damping should be selected in accordance with k. In this case the above formula 
for calculating the 3 dB bandwidth no longer applies. 
Bandstop filter with additional amplitude response increase/decrease at high frequencies 
In this case, the numerator and denominator natural frequencies are set to different values. 
The numerator natural frequency determines the blocking frequency.  
By selecting a lower/higher denominator natural frequency than the numerator natural 
frequency, you can increase/decrease the amplitude response at high frequencies. An 
amplitude response increase at high frequencies can be justified in most cases, as the 
controlled system generally possesses a lowpass characteristic itself, i.e., the amplitude 
response drops at high frequencies anyway. 
Supplementary conditions 
If too high a numerator natural frequency is selected, the filter is disabled. In this case the 
limiting frequency f
Zmax
 depends on the position-control cycle:

The limit is enabled for a specific axis using the machine data: 
MD32400 AX_JERK_ENABLE (axial jerk limitation) 
and set (with time specification) for the smoothing filter via the machine data: 
MD32410 AX_JERK_TIME (time constant for axial jerk filter).
