Review: The Controller [C] trace shows the frequency response of VL.KP, VL.KI, PL.KP, AR Filters 1 & 2

PL.KP is the Position Loop Proportional term, and its units is specified in rev²/s² (when divided, PL.KP / 2*PI gives you the bandwidth in Hz)

Note: VL.KP is set to 1.0 so that the gain of the system is at 0 dB. All other gains are zeroed

Below PL.KP is set to 10Hz

Note:

AKD2G: Units of PL.KP are Hz

AKD1: Units of PL.KP are rev²/s²

AKD1 Units = AKD2G * 2π

 

Just like VL.KI, PL.KP specifies the bandwidth of the proportional term. Where the gain is +3 dB at the PL.KP frequency

Note: Just like VL.KI, PL.KP ALWAYS decreases the phase of the system. The phase reduction is -45 deg at PL.KP Hz and -90 deg one decade earlier.

 

Although both VL.KI and PL.KP affect the frequency response the same, the behavior seen in the servo loop is much different.

Note: Higher values of VL.KI and PL.KP both reduce stability at low frequencies. Adjust them independently when trying to diagnose a problem.
