Performing an optimization

Provided that the system constellation allows it, proceed as follows to perform an optimization:

  1. Reference the application.
  2. Measure the load inertia with the aid of the load cycling.
  3. INFORMATION: A symmetrical load distribution is required for this because the load inertia is now determined via the first inverter.
  4. If possible, deactivate the position and balance controller and the external encoder to be able to perform isolated adjustment of the speed controller settings.
  5. INFORMATION: This is not always possible without damaging the machine/system, so this should only be performed by specialists.
  6. Set the stiffness/zero clearance.
  7. Determine the time constant of the encoder evaluation.
  8. Apply the suggested values in the MultiAxisController settings.
  9. If necessary, activate the position and balance controller as well as the external encoder.
  10. Adjust the amplification of the position controller to the requirements of the machine.
  11. Test the settings with slower and faster travel as well as with and without load.
