Determining Inertia Ratio
Actual system Inertia Ratio is determined by accelerating and decelerating the load with a
known ramp while measuring the torque required.
Consider the following before determining the inertia:
• If your application allows a great deal of motor motion without interference, it is
recommended that you use a Preset Velocity to produce accurate acceleration ramps.
• If your application has a very limited range of motion, it is recommended that you use a
position controller to produce the acceleration ramps and to prevent exceeding the axis
range of motion.
• The accel and decel ramp should be aggressive enough to require at least 20 percent of
continuous motor torque. The higher the torque used during the ramp, the more accurate
the final result will be.
• With ramps that take less than 1/2 second to accelerate, read the Diagnostic Analog
Outputs with an oscilloscope to measure the Torque Feedback.
• With ramps that take 1/2 second or longer to accelerate, read the Torque Command
parameter on the Motor tab of PowerTools or with the Watch Window.
• To best determine the inertia, use both acceleration and deceleration torque values. The
difference allows you to drop the constant friction out of the final calculation.
• If your application exerts a constant “unidirectional loading” throughout the travel such
as in a vertical axis, the inertia test profiles must be performed in both directions to cancel
out the unidirectional loading effect.
• The Torque Command Limited and Velocity Feedback parameters can be measured using
the drive’s Analog Outputs, or PowerTools software.
An oscilloscope will be needed for systems with limited travel moves and rapidly changing
signals of torque and velocity.
