If the gain adjustment of the Servo System is insufficient, the operation of the Servo System will be unsatisfactory, in which case the Servo System will cause machinery vibration and an alarm will result.

    Chapter 4 Countermeasures Against Noise Generation and Types of Noise The elimination of noise influence on the Servo System is indispensable for increasing the reliability of the Servo System. If the protection of the Servo System from noise is insufficient, the Units in the system will be damaged in the worst case. Even if the Units are not damaged, the Servo System will not be able to fulfill its functions, e.g., the rota- tion of the motor may be unstable or correct positioning may not be possible with the Servo System.
