Tune the Axes
The load observer feature (available with drive firmware revision 1.049 or
later) can provide good performance without having to tune your axis. Using
load observer with auto-tuned gains can maximize system performance. Refer
to Appendix D beginning on page 271
for more load observer information.
Follow these steps to tune the axes.
1. Verify the load is still removed from the axis being tuned.
2. Click the Tune tab.
3. Type values for Travel Limit and Speed.
In this example, Travel Limit = 5 and Speed = 10. The actual value of
programmed units depend on your application.
4. From the Direction pull-down menu, choose a setting.
Forward Uni-directional is default.
5. Check Tune boxes as appropriate for your application.
6. Apply Hardware Enable Input signal for the axis you are tuning.
7. Click Start Tuning to auto-tune your axis.
ATTENTION: To reduce the possibility of unpredictable motor
response, tune your motor with the load removed first, then re-
attach the load and perform the tuning procedure again to provide
an accurate operational response.
ATTENTION: To avoid personal injury or damage to equipment,
apply 24V ENABLE signal only to the axis you are tuning.
