Tuning servo’s with Motion Integrator
Motion Integrator provides a powerful and easy to use tool for ‘dialing in’ the performance of servo
systems. From simple current/torque mode amplifiers to sophisticated Digital Drives, Motion Integrator
makes tuning a servo is quick and easy.
By disabling the Trajectory generator, the user can execute repeated Gain mode (no ramping - maximum
velocity or acceleration/deceleration) step responses to determine the optimal PID filter parameters:
Proportional
gain
Derivative
gain
Derivative sampling period
Integral
gain
Integration
Limit
With the Trajectory generator turned on, the user can execute ‘real world’ moves displaying the calculated
position, actual position, following error, and DAC output plots.
The Servo Tuning Utility includes on-line help assisting
with both using the program and explaining the
fundamentals of servo tuning. A complete Servo Tuning
tutorial is available on the Motion CD
