• Current control filters do not influence the measurements and therefore they must not be deactivated.

Normally the current control parameters are adjusted very well with the operation "Calculate control data" and
need not further be optimised. However, an inspection of the frequency response is always reasonable,
particularly when little motors are used.

Example: Optimised current controller:

Speed controller:

The following parameters are relevant:

-Dynamic (equivalent time constant) of the inner current control loop and therefore the MD who are relevant for
the current control loop.

Effectiveness of the Current setpoint filter and speed setpoint filter at low frequencies in dependence of the
cycle time:

62.5 µs > 80 Hz >50 Hz
125 µs > 30 Hz >30 Hz
250 µs > 15 Hz > 15 Hz

• For optimisation and frequency response measurements of the speed control loop the speed setpoint filter
must be switched of. They have no influence on stability of the speed control loop but they have a big
influence on measuring results.

Optimisation of the speed control loop:

Overview of the measuring points for frequency responses

Frequency response of the Controlled System:

Do the frequency response of the controlled system for better estimation of the poles and zeros.

• Transfer function: actual speed motor / actual current motor

Advantage of these measuring: Poles and Zeros of the controlled system can be examined without any
influence of the controller. E.g. at linear motors: sometimes the motor makes a noise already with standard data.
So the measuring result is very noisy and inapplicable.

Remedy: reduce speed controller gain - make frequency response of the controlled system - identify critical
poles - place band stop filters - increase controller gain. Over a specific controller gain the frequency response
of the closed speed controller loop brings good results again.

TIP: For very clean and good frequency responses of the controlled system at lower frequencies it is very
helpful to reduce the speed controller gain and increase the integrator time extremely.

Mechanical frequency response:

• Transfer function: actual speed direct measuring system / actual speed motor measuring system

Advantage of these measuring: Comprehensive classification of the performance of an axis at a glance. As

higher the first pole of mechanic frequency response is (mostly natural frequency of the axis, locked rotor
frequency) as higher is the performance of the axis. The first pole limits the dynamic of the axis, normally the
max. reachable Kv-factor, the acceleration and the max. acceptable jerk (jerk limitation).

Here: Natural frequency of the X-axis ≈ 30 Hz.

(Compare picture Frequ_Resp_3_Ref_250 with Frequ_Resp_2_250). With the same Kv-Factor as in the picture
before some amplitude margin stands for disposal so the Kv-factor can be increased.

A similar effect can reached with the speed filters. However the time constant (MD 1503) should be not too big
(ca. < 10 ms). If this time constant is too big, the sum of the little time constants can lead to a exorbitant
adjustment of the position controller and this can lead to a bad positioning behaviour.

Besides big time constants in the speed filters have the negative effect that they filter the desired values too
who come from the feed forward control (because of their arrangement in the controller loop). The same

damping effect can be reached alternative with the filter MD 32930 POSCTRL_OUT_FILTER_ENABLE and the
corresponding time constant MD 32940 POSCTRL_OUT_FILTER_TIME. These low pass has no effect on the

In the next picture the speed controller integrator time was increased to 10 ms. It can not yet be the speech from
a damping optimal adaption, but it goes into this direction. If the mechanical characteristics of the axis allow
these adjustment (quadrant error, friction....) in this way can be reached the highest Kv-factors (compare picture

The practice shows, that a absolute necessary requirement for a good surface and contour precision is a good
circularity test. A "good" circularity test is - in dependence on the machine dynamic - a radius- and shape
deviation < 10 µm.

Th. Reichel, A&D MC E55 Controller.doc Page 16 of 22

SIEMENS AG 20.01.02

With the numerous Functions of the 840 D it is nearly always possible to fulfil this criteria.

The easiest way to program the circle is as follows:

G91 ;Incremental
G17 ;X/Y-plane
G02 I10 J0 F10000 TURN=1000 ;Radius 10 mm, 1000 repeats
M30

• In the practice a circularity test with Radius = 10 mm and F = 5 ... 10 m/min is useful.

Without any further effort the following circles can be reached in dependence of the described 3 optimisation
methods (Reference model, speed filter, long integrator time). All circles with Kv = 3.8 m/min/mm.

All Circles without Feed Forward Control!!

All circles in this document are made with 5000 mm/min = F5000 even if in the field ’feedrate" in the circularity
test is a different value!!!!!!

In all 3 Cases a good circularity shape can be reached. However the actual radius is very different to the desired
radius. Because the use of the speed filter leads to an expand of the radius, this filter can be combined with the
two other methods to reach a good circle radius.

E.g. Combination of longer Integrator time and speed

filter to expand the radius:

1501 SPEED_FILTER_TYPE 200
1503 SPEED_FILTER_2_TIME 5.800000

With this combination of longer Integrator time and speed filter the position controller loop can become
unbalanced. Therefore the frequency response has to be checked again after the circularity test.

SIEMENS AG 20.01.02

Because the speed filter has a damping effect to the position controller, it is now possible to reduce the
integrator time a little bit. If the radius of the circle changes slightly, the speed filter has to be adjusted a little bit
again. So it is possible to get a very accurate Radius and a nearly perfect frequency response of the position
controller loop.

With the speed filter the equivalent time constant of the position controller loop did not change from the point of
view of the Interpolator. The speed filter lift only the amplitude of the position controller frequency response and
therefore the radius of the circle. With the Dynamic match time filter the equivalent time constant of the position
controller loop change, the phase relation changes, the circle changes to a ellipse or a ellipse will be corrected
to a circle.
