Torque Sharing

Torque sharing applications typically use two or more motors to share torque in a master/slave configuration. The master is configured to 
regulate position or velocity and the slaves are configured to regulate velocity or torque. It is also typical for the master to have an integral 
gain K

I

 > 0 and the slaves to have integral gains K

I

 = 0 so they do not oppose the master.

Droop

Droop is used to shed load when a compliant coupling exists between the motors. The master drive regulates velocity and the followers use 
droop so they do not oppose the master. The input to the droop function is the commanded motor torque. The output of the droop function 
reduces the speed reference.

10:1961 [Droop RPM at FLA] – This parameter sets the velocity regulator droop. It is the amount of base speed, in rpm, that the speed 
reference or velocity command is reduced to when at full load torque. For example, when 10:1961 [Droop RPM at FLA] is set to 50 rpm and the 
drive is running at 100% rated motor torque, the droop function subtracts 50 rpm from the speed reference. However, use of the droop 
function causes the motor speed to decrease with an increase in load. 

10:1763 [PReg Droop] – This parameter sets the position regulator droop. It limits the position regulator integral gain K

PI

< 1/droop. This 

parameter provides a means to fine-tune the stability for load-mounted feedback devices where compliance and backlash can cause 
problems. Droop is displayed in units of seconds. Here, a 1-second droop represents a load position error equal to the change in position 
counts in 1 second at nameplate motor velocity. Droop = 1/K

VP

 can be used as a guideline. However, tightly coupled loads typically do not 

require the use of droop. Instead, the master is configured with an integral gain K

I

 > 0 and the slaves are set with K

I

= 0.
