Autotune mode

When the Commissioning Wizard had finished, you are taken directly to Autotune mode. This tool
performs a number of automatic tuning tests. It is best to use the default settings at this stage.
1. Click START.
2. In the dialog box that appears, click Yes to confirm.
3. WorkBench v5 will perform a number of tests, during which the motor will move. Progress is indicated on screen.
When the tests are complete, a message box will appear. Click OK to confirm.
3.2.3

Saving tuning information

For the purposes of these demonstrations, it is very important that the tuning information is saved in a parameter file.
1. On the menu, choose Tools, Parameter Table, Upload...
2. In the Save As box, enter a filename and click Save.
3. In the dialog box that appears, click Yes.
The drive will be reset, and after a few seconds the parameter table will be uploaded from the Flex+Drive
saved. This file contains all the tuning parameters for the Flex+Drive
demonstrations.
3.2.4

Fine-tuning mode

The Autotune procedure will have tuned the motor sufficiently well to allow the demonstrations to work normally
without any further tuning. The demonstration of Fine-tuning mode only needs to be performed if the user is
particularly interested in Fine-tuning.
Fine-tuning mode can be used to adjust the tuning to suit a particular application, perform test moves, and then
display the results of the tests as graphs. In the following demonstration, the test bandwidth will be adjusted to alter
the response of the system.
1. In the WorkBench v5 toolbox, click Setup then click
the Fine-tuning icon.
2. At the bottom of the Fine-tuning window, click the
Position tab.
3. In the Distance box, enter a value for the test
distance. Remember, this value is in user units.
