Servo Tuning Example

The example below illustrates how to experimentally obtain the highest
possible proportional feedback (

SGP

) and velocity feedback (

SGV

) gains. For

a Servo Tuning flow diagram, see “Appendix A Additional Specifications” on
page

168

.

The motion command used for this example is a step command with a step
size of 200. The plots shown are as they appear in the Aries Support Tool
(X axis = time, Y axis = position).

Note:

The steps shown below (steps 1 to 11) represent the major steps of

the process; the actual progression between these steps may require several
iterations.

Step 1

For a starting trial, we set
the proportional feedback
gain (

SGP

) to .5. As you

can see by the plot, the
response is slow.

In the next step, we should
increase SGP until the

response is slightly under
damped.

Step 2

With SGP equal to 2, the

response becomes slightly
under damped (see plot).

Therefore, we should
introduce the velocity
feedback gain (

SGV

) to

damp out the oscillation.
