Position Loop Gain - Mitsubishi MELDAS MDS-C1 Instruction Manual

If there are no vibration or overshooting problems, the high-speed contour cutting precision can be
further improved by setting the VIA higher than the standard value. In this case, adjust by raising
the VIA in increments of 100 from the standard value.
Setting a higher VIA improves the trackability regarding position commands in machines for which
cycle time is important, and the time to when the position droop converges on the in-position width
is shortened.
It is easier to adjust the VIA to improve precision and cycle time if a large value (a value near the
standard value) can be set in VGN1, or if VGN1 can be raised equivalently using the disturbance
observer.

4-2-3 Position loop gain

(1) Setting the position loop gain
The position loop gain (SV003: PGN1) is a parameter that determines the trackability to the
command position. 33 is set as a standard. Set the same position loop gain value between
interpolation axes.
When PGN1 is raised, the trackability will be raised and the settling time will be shortened, but a
speed loop that has a responsiveness that can track the position loop gain with increased
response will be required. If the speed loop responsiveness is insufficient, several Hz of vibration
or overshooting will occur during acceleration/deceleration. Vibration or overshooting will also
occur when VGN1 is smaller than the standard value during VIA adjustment, but the vibration in
the position loop occurs generally 10Hz or less. (The VIA vibration occurs from 10 to 20Hz.) When
the position control includes machine resonance points (Position control machine resonance
points occur at the tool end parts, etc.) because of insufficient machine rigidity, the machine will
vibrate during positioning, etc. In either case, lower PGN1 and adjust so that vibration does not
occur.
If the machine also vibrates due to machine backlash when the motor stops, the vibration can be
suppressed by lowering the PGN1 and smoothly stopping.
If SHG control is used, an equivalently high position loop gain can be maintained while
suppressing these vibrations. To adjust the SHG control, gradually raise the gain from a setting
where 1/2 of a normal control PGN1 where vibration did not occur was set in PGN1. If the PGN1
setting value is more than 1/2 of the normal control PGN1 when SHG control is used, there is an
improvement effect in position control. (Note that for the settling time the improvement effect is at
1/ 2 or more.)

CAUTION
4. Servo Adjustment
Set the gain of the speed loop integration control.
The standard setting is "1364". During the SHG control, the standard
setting is "1900". Adjust the value by increasing/decreasing it by about
100 at a time.
Raise this value to improve contour tracking precision in high-speed
cutting. Lower this value when the position droop vibrates (10 to
20Hz).
Position droop vibration of 10Hz or less is not leading compensation control
vibration. The position loop gain must be adjusted.
Set the position loop gain. The standard setting is "33".
The higher the setting value is, the more precisely the command can be
followed and the shorter the positioning time gets, however, note that a
bigger shock is applied to the machine during acceleration/deceleration.
When using the SHG control, also set SV004 (PGN2) and SV057
(SHGC).
Set 0. (For SHG control)
Set 0. (For SHG control)
Always set the same value for the position loop gain between the interpolation
axes.
