Benefits of Adaptive Tuning
When Adaptive Tuning is enabled with recommended out-of-box control loop
settings, Adaptive Tuning performs the following:
• Automatically suppresses changing resonances
• Minimizes periodic identification of resonance and retuning
• Mitigates the need for a tuning expert
• Reduces decommissioning time, especially for high axis count
• Minimizes the power consumption, machine vibration, and errors
How Adaptive Tuning Functions
Adaptive Tuning is always running in the background to detect motor side
resonances. Every few seconds, Adaptive Tuning analyzes the frequency
response of torque loop signals to identify, track, and measure resonances.
Adaptive Tuning also analyzes the frequency response of the command signal
to make sure that dominant command frequencies are not mistaken for
resonances. This process is known as command rejection. The action that is
taken to change tuning parameters largely depends on the adaptive tuning
mode of operation. Relevant parameters are summarized in the table followed
by detailed descriptions of how they work in various modes of operation.
