Supplementary condition 
1.  The functional expansion is available for all control variants, 
which use SIMODRIVE 611 digital drives. 
2.  The function can only be used on axes with two encoders: 
MD30200 $MA_NUM_ENCS = 2 
One of the encoders must be parameterized as an indirect measuring system and the 
other as a direct measuring system. 
If these conditions are not met, reset alarm 26016 will acknowledge the function when an 
attempt is made to activate machine data: 
MD32950 $MA_POSCTRL_DAMPING. 
The function remains deactivated internally when this alarm is active.  
2.5.2  Position controller position setpoint filter: new balancing filter 
For speed and torque feedforward control  
Application 
With feedforward control active, the position setpoint is sent through a socalled balancing 
filter before it reaches the controller itself. It is thus possible to feedforward control the speed 
setpoint at 100%, without resulting in overshoots when positioning. 
Functionality 
Until now, it was possible to compensate the negative effects of the balancing filter (a low 
pass with settable time constant), which has remained unchanged since SW 1 and which 
has admitted instead of an overshoot also undesired undershoots of some 10 micrometers, 
as follows: 
•  Setting a compromise of overshoots and undershoots 
•  Setting the positioning slightly overshooting and reducing the amplitude of these 
overshoots by way of position setpoint signal smoothing and jerk limitation 
•  Setting a speed controller with reference model instead of PI behavior 
(only possible with 840D) 
•  Setting the filter time to zero and setting the feedforward control factor to a value less 
than 100% 
•  Sacrificing the feedforward control and bringing the machine to a very high position 
controller gain using dynamic stiffness control.  
This measure requires a stiff machine. 
With SW 5 and higher, a second, improved balancing filter is therefore available.  
The existing filter is still installed and is active with the same function when transferring 
existing archives (e.g. in the case of upgrades).
