WorkBench Servo System Tuning

Overview

This section covers tuning the velocity and position loops in the servo drive. Servo tuning adjusts various drive coefficients to ensure the drive has optimal control of the servo motor for your application. There are different ways to tune, and several are covered here. Guidance is provided on the different tuning methods and when to use each one.

The drive works in three major operation modes: torque, velocity, and position operation mode. No servo loop tuning is required for torque mode. Velocity loop and position loop tuning are covered below.

The drive has an automatic tuner that provides the tuning that many applications need. This section describes the tuning process and how to tune the AKD2G, specifically for cases where the user does not want to use automatic tuning.

This section will focus on tuning in the time domain. This means we'll evaluate the velocity, or position response over time, to decide how well a control loop is tuned.
