P-AXIS-00764

Integral (I) action time of the PID controller

Description

This parameter weights the I component of the PID controller. The integral action time defines the time after which the P and I components of the manipulated variable are equal.

A large integral action time produces greater control stability. The shorter the integration action time, the greater the I component and the faster the control.

Disable the I component by i_tn = 0.

0.0 <= i_tn <= 50.0

Axis types

Default value

drive types.

SERCOS, Profidrive, CANopen

Remarks

To begin with, it is advisable to select a high initial value for the integral action time setting (e.g. 5) to avoid instability in the control loop. You can then reduce the integral action time step by step to obtain the effect you require. If there are no permanent control deviations, do not use the I component at first.

This parameter is available as from Build 2809.06 or 3079.06.

P-AXIS-00765

Derivative (D) action time of the PID controller

Description

This parameter weights the D component of the PID controller. The derivative action time defines the time after which the P and D components of the manipulated variable are equal. The derivative action time stabilises controller behaviour and reduces oscillations. The larger the derivative action time, the stronger the D component. Disable the D component by d_tv=0.

Remarks

To begin with, it is advisable to select a low initial value for the derivative action time setting to avoid instability in the control loop (e.g.: 0.01). You can then reduce the derivative action time step by step to obtain the effect you require.

This parameter is available as from Build 2809.06 or 3079.06.
