Tune the Servo Control Loop

After verifying the hardware setup of the SynqNet Network using the various Motion Console
summary windows, now tune the servo control loop in order to make a move.

Click on the button to open the Motion Supervisor Summary window.

Verify that the Motion Type is set to Trapezoidal under the Actions tab.

Click the Clear Fault button to dismiss any errors.

Click on the button to open the Filter Summary window.

Verify that the Algorithm is set to PID under the Config tab.

Go to the Coeffs tab and select PID from the Algorithm drop-down menu.

WARNING!
Before making any changes, determine what tuning parameters are safe to use. Otherwise, the motors could be damaged.

For our example we will use the following parameters:

WARNING! Example Parameters Only (Not to be used for every system)  800 for Proportional Gain (Kp)  8 for Integral Gain (Ki)  1,200 for Derivative Gain (Kd)  10,000 for Integrator Maximum   at Rest (IMaxRest)

Click on the button to open the Motor Summary window.

Verify that the motor Type is set to Servo under the Config tab.

Set the Amp Enable checkbox to Enabled.

Click on the button to open the Axis Summary window.

Under the Motion tab, enter the following parameters:

10000 for Position 2  0 for Position 1  10000 for Velocity   5000 for Acceleration  5000 for Deceleration
