PL.GEAROUT

Description

PL.GEAROUT sets the gear factor for the position loop output values towards the velocity loop input values. PL.GEAROUT is the denominator of the gear factor. PL.GEARIN describes the numerator of the gear factor. PL.GEAROUT must be a power of 2 (see range above).

This gear factor is useful in applications, where the position loop is closed by an external encoder (PL.FBSOURCE != 0) and the velocity loop is closed by the motor feedback encoder (VL.FBSOURCE = 0). If there is a mechanical gear factor between the external encoder and the motor feedback encoder, PL.GEARIN and PL.GEAROUT are used to described this physical gearing. Setting of the gear factor is important to achieve a high performance tuning result for the axis.
