Tune The Axes - Allen-Bradley Kinetix 5500 series Quick Start Manual

Tune the Axes

Follow these steps to tune the axes.
1. Verify that the load is still removed from the axis being tuned.
ATTENTION: To reduce the possibility of unpredictable motor response, tune your motor with the load removed first, then
reattach the load and perform the tuning procedure again to provide an accurate operational response.
2. Click the Autotune category.
3. Type values for Travel Limit and Speed.
In this example, Travel Limit = 5 and Speed = 10. The actual values of programmed units depend on your
application.
4. From the Direction pull-down menu, choose a setting appropriate for your application.
Forward Uni-directional is default.
5. Edit other fields as appropriate for your application.
6. Click Start.
The Logix Designer - Autotune dialog box opens. When the test completes, the Test State changes from Executing to
Success.
Tuned values populate the Loop and Load parameter tables. Actual bandwidth values (Hz) depend on your
application and can require adjustment once motor and load are connected.
