8.8.1
Tuning the Servo Gains
Servo Gains
In order to manually tune the servo gains, you must understand the configuration and charac-
teristic of the SERVOPACK and adjust the servo gains individually. In most cases, if you greatly
change any one parameter, you must adjust the other parameters again. Monitor the response
characteristic with the trace function of the SigmaWin+ while you make the adjustment.
The SERVOPACK has three feedback systems (the position loop, speed loop, and current
loop), and the response characteristic must be increased more with the inner loops. If this rela-
tionship is not maintained, the response characteristic will suffer and vibration will occur more
easily.
A sufficient response characteristic is ensured for the current loop. There is never a need for it
to be adjusted by the user.
Outline
You can use manual tuning to set the servo gains in the SERVOPACK to increase the response
characteristic of the SERVOPACK.
Use manual tuning in the following cases.
• When custom tuning does not work well
• When you want to increase the servo gains higher than the results of custom tuning
• When you want to determine the servo gains and moment of inertia ratio yourself
The operation is started with the default settings for the servo gain parameters.
Applicable Tools
You can monitor the servo gains with the SigmaWin+.
Precautions
Vibration may occur while you are tuning the servo gains. You must provide an emergency stop
device and activate it immediately whenever vibration occurs.
