A general servo system configuration is shown above. The servo control system consists of three loops:
current loop, speed loop and position loop. Among these three loops, the response of the inside loop must be
increased 4 to 6 times higher. If this condition is not satisfied, vibration will be generated. If the condition
further worsens, hunting will occur.
(1) Current loop
For this servo amplifier, the response level of the current loop is factory-set to a high value and need
not be adjusted. If the motor is installed to the machine, the response of the current loop will hardly
vary.
(2) Speed loop
Response will vary according to the inertia moment of the machine. When the load inertia moment
increases, the response of the speed loop will reduce. Use the speed loop gain (VG2) to compensate for
the reduction of the response level.
