When a servo motor is accelerated/decelerated, the load inertia moment ratio estimation section always
estimates the load inertia moment ratio from the current and speed of the servo motor. The results of
estimation are written to DRU parameter No. 34 (the ratio of load inertia moment to servo motor). These
results can be confirmed on the status display screen of the servo amplifier display section.
If the value of the load inertia moment ratio is already known or if estimation cannot be made properly,
chose the "auto tuning mode 2" (DRU parameter No.2:
2 ) to stop the estimation of the load inertia
moment ratio (Switch in above diagram turned off), and set the load inertia moment ratio (DRU
parameter No. 34) manually.
From the preset load inertia moment ratio (DRU parameter No. 34) value and response level (The first
digit of DRU parameter No. 2), the optimum control gains are automatically set on the basis of the
internal gain tale.
The auto tuning results are saved in the EEP-ROM of the servo amplifier every 60 minutes since power-
on. At power-on, auto tuning is performed with the value of each control gain saved in the EEP-ROM
being used as an initial value.
POINT
If sudden disturbance torque is imposed during operation, the estimation
of the inertia moment ratio may malfunction temporarily. In such a case,
choose the "auto tuning mode 2" (DRU parameter No. 2: 020
) and set the
correct load inertia moment ratio in DRU parameter No. 34.
When any of the auto tuning mode 1, auto tuning mode 2 and manual
mode 1 settings is changed to the manual mode 2 setting, the current
control gains and load inertia moment ratio estimation value are saved in
the EEP-ROM.
