PL.PDELAY

Description

PL.PDELAY inserts a delay before the position command signal. The delay is implemented after the feedforwards are calculated, which allows the feedforwards to “lead” the position command/error signals.

By tuning this filter, position loop overshoot can be reduced without affecting loop stability. This filter is considered a feedforward. For best results it should be set in conjunction with VL.FFDELAY.

After making an approximation of the Open Loop bandwidthClosedIn computer networking, bandwidth often refers to a data rate measured in bits/s, for example, network throughput. The reason for the connection of data rate with the term bandwidth is that the limit to the data rate of a physical communication link is related to its bandwidth in hertz (Hz) in the Performance Servo Tuner, calculate PL.PDELAY:

PL.PDELAY = 1 / (Open Loop BW (Hz) * 2π) * 1,000,000


  • 1,000,000 = seconds to microseconds

  • PL.PDELAY and VL.FFDELAY are calculated exactly the same, however, depending on the mode of operation, sometimes an additional 250us should be added to PL.PDELAY for optimal results.
