2.5.2 Position controller position setpoint filter: New balancing filter
For speed and torque feedforward control
Application
With feedforward control active, the position setpoint is sent through a socalled balancing
filter before it reaches the controller itself. It is thus possible to feedforward control the speed
setpoint at 100%, without resulting in overshoots when positioning.
Functionality
Until now, it was possible to compensate the negative effects of the balancing filter (a low
pass with settable time constant), which has remained unchanged since SW 1 and which
has admitted instead of an overshoot also undesired undershoots of some 10 micrometers,
as follows:
• Setting a compromise of overshoots and undershoots
• Setting the positioning slightly overshooting and reducing the amplitude of these
• Setting a speed controller with reference model instead of PI behavior
• Setting the filter time to zero and setting the feedforward control factor to a value less
• Sacrificing the feedforward control and bringing the machine to a very high position
With SW 5 and higher, a second, improved balancing filter is therefore available.
The existing filter is still installed and is active with the same function when transferring
existing archives (e.g., in the case of upgrades).
Advantages
The new balancing filter provides the following improvements:
• An axis with feedforward control has a considerably lower inclination to undershoots
• Achieves a higher accuracy at bent contours (can be measured, e.g., using the circularity
• A part of the setting is carried out by the control system automatically.
