Further tuning - with load attached
To allow Mint WorkBench to adjust the basic tuning to compensate for the intended
load, it is necessary to attach the load to the motor and then perform the autotune
procedure again.
1. Attach the load to the motor.
2. Click the Autotune icon in the Toolbox on the left of the screen.
3. Clear all of the check boxes. Only “Measure the inertia” and “Calculate speed and
position loop gains” must be selected.
4. Click START to begin the auto-tuning process. Mint WorkBench takes
measurements from the motor and then performs small test moves.
5. Click the Fine-tuning icon in the Toolbox on the left of the screen.
6. In the Velocity tab's Test Parameters area, ensure the same move parameters are
entered and then click Go to start the test move.
Mint WorkBench performs the test move and displays a graph of the result.
