Velocity Loop page

Use the settings on
Velocity Loop
page in the
Axis Properties
dialog box to configure the velocity loop related parameters. These are the parameters for the
Velocity Loop
page.
TIP: To open the Velocity Loop page:
  1. In the
    Controller Organizer
    , expand the
    Motion Groups
    folder, and double-click an axis.
  2. From the
    Axis Properties
    dialog box, in
    Categories
    , click
    Velocity Loop
    .
Parameter
Description
Bandwidth
Enter a value to determine the proportional gain, Kvp, of the velocity loop that multiplies the Velocity Error signal. This value represents the unity gain bandwidth of the velocity loop.
Integrator Bandwidth
Enter a value (Hz) that represents the bandwidth of the velocity integrator beyond which the integrator is ineffective. A value of 0 for this attribute disables the integrator.
Integrator
Enable or disable the velocity integrator status.
Acceleration Feedforward
Enter a percentage for the Acceleration Feedforward. This parameter multiplies the signal to form the
Acceleration Feedforward
Command that is applied to the acceleration loop summing junction. When 100%, Acceleration Feedforward applies the full
Acceleration Fine
Command
signal to the output of the velocity loop.
Error Tolerance
Enter a value for the velocity error tolerance in user defined velocity units. The value determines the absolute maximum Velocity Error value that is tolerated without causing an Excessive Velocity Error exception.
Lock Tolerance
Enter a value for the velocity lock tolerance in user defined velocity units.
If the signal entering the velocity limiter exceeds this velocity limit value, the device responds by clamping the velocity reference to this limit and setting the Velocity Limit status bit.
Velocity Limit Positive
Enter a value for the positive velocity limit in user defined position units.
If the signal entering the velocity limiter exceeds this value, the device responds by clamping the velocity reference to this limit and setting the Velocity Limit status bit.
Velocity Limit Negative
Enter a value for the negative velocity limit in user defined position units.
This value reduces or eliminates velocity overshoot by subtracting a portion of the velocity reference signal from the velocity error.
Standstill Window
Enter a value for the velocity standstill window in user defined position units/s.
The configured value establishes a window around zero speed. When the Velocity Feedback signal is within this window, the Velocity Standstill status bit is set. When Velocity Feedback signal falls outside this window, the Velocity Standstill status bit clears.
Threshold
Enter a value for the velocity threshold in position units/s.
This parameter defines a minimum absolute velocity. If the magnitude of the Velocity Feedback signal is less than this value, the Velocity Threshold status bit is set. If the axis is set for Frequency Control, the Velocity Feedback signal derives from the Velocity Reference signal.
