#Z43848E-2
2-8. Turning Items and Steps

Load inertia in terms of motor axis load is set in terms of a multiplication rate to motor inertia with the V
Series and the servo gain is adjusted based on this value. Thus, set load inertia in terms of motor axial load
(described as “load inertia” in the following sections) in terms of multiplication rate to motor inertia and set gain
or filter based on this value.
The following four tuning modes are available with the V Series.

(V Series Tuning Modes)

Standard Mode: Select this mode when the load inertia amplification rate is known. This is the default
value.
Semi-auto Mode: The load inertia amplification rate is measured by several ten times of commutation with
this mode.
Real Time Mode: The load inertia amplification rate is measured real time during ordinary operation.
Manual Mode: You have to set all gains and filters manually in this mode.

Set servo gains, filters, and other elements in the following steps.

(Tuning Steps) Note: See the detailed description on the next page.

1. When load inertia amplification rate is known

1-1. Set only TP02 (Target loop gain) and TP03 (Load inertia amplification rate), and let the servo amplifier set
the other parameters.
1-2. Set all tuning parameters manually.

2. When load inertia amplification rate is unknown

2-1. Measure load inertial during commutation.
2-2. Measure load inertia amplification rate real time during ordinary operation.
2-3. Measure speed and electric current changes during acceleration and deceleration and calculate load
inertia.

(After setting TP02 (Target loop gain) and TP03 (Load inertia amplification rate))

2-4. The other parameters are set by the servo amplifier.

2-5. Set all tuning parameters manually.

Note: Steps 2-4 and 2-5 are equivalent with 1-1 and 1-2 under “1. When load inertial multiplication rate is
known.”
See detailed description on steps 1-1 and 1-2 for details on steps 2-4 and 2-5.

Note: In the speed control mode, set TP02 (Target loop gain) to Position loop gain.

21
#Z43848E-2

(When TP02 (Target loop gain) and TP03 (Load inertia amplification rate) are known)

1-1. To set only TP02 (Target loop gain) and TP03 (Load inertia amplification rate), and let the servo amplifier set the
other parameters:

Set the servo amplifier’s tuning mode (TP01) to “0: Standard mode” and turn off and on the system. Once
the communication between SHAN5 and the servo amplifier is established again, click the [Gain adjustment]
button to open the Gain Adjustment screen and specify parameters TP02: Target loop gain and TP03: Load
inertia amplification rate.
Here press the “Current command filter (2),” “Speed command filter (F),” and “Observer (O)” buttons to set a
filter and “Tuning special setting (T)” button to change TFC setting.
See “2-8-5. Tuning Gain Setup screen” for details on gain setting.
See “2-8-6. Tuning Filter Setup screen” for details on filter setting.
See “2-8-7. TFC (Twin Freedom Control) Setup screen” for details on TFC setting.

1-2. To set all parameters except TP02: Target loop gain and TP03: Load inertial multiplication rate manually:

Set the servo amplifier’s tuning mode (TP01) to “3: Manual mode” and turn off and on the system. Once the
communication between SHAN5 and the servo amplifier is established again, click the [Gain adjustment]
button to open the Gain Adjustment screen and change Servo Amplifier parameters. Once gain adjustment is
over, use buttons from [Current command filter (1)] to [Observer] to set a filter and use the [Tuning special
setting] button to change TFC setting.
See “2-8-5. Tuning Gain Setup screen” for details on gain setting.
See “2-8-6. Tuning Filter Setup screen” for details on filter setting.
See “2-8-7. TFC (Twin Freedom Control) Setup screen” for details on TFC setting.

(Measuring Load Inertia)

2-1. To measure load inertial during commutation:

Set the servo amplifier’s tuning mode (TP01) to “1: Semi-auto mode” and turn off and on the system. Once
the communication between SHAN5 and the servo amplifier is established again, click the [Semi-auto] button
and perform tuning on the Semi-auto Mode screen.
See “2-8-2. Tuning Semi-Auto Mode screen” for details.

2-2. To measure load inertia amplification rate real time during ordinary operation:

Set the servo amplifier’s tuning mode (TP01) to “2: Real Time mode” and turn off and on the system. Once
the communication between SHAN5 and the servo amplifier is established again, click the [Real Time mode] button to
open the Real Time Mode screen and monitor the changes of load inertia amplification rate during normal operation.
See “2-8-3. Tuning Real-Time Mode screen” for details.

2-3. To measure speed and electric current changes during acceleration and deceleration and calculate load inertia:

Set the servo amplifier’s tuning mode (TP01) to “0: Standard mode” or “3: Manual mode” and turn off and on
the system. Once the communication between SHAN5 and the servo amplifier is established again, click the
[Manual mode (M1)] button to open the Manual Mode screen and measure speed and current changes during
acceleration and deceleration following instructions on the screen.
See “2-8-4. Tuning Manual Mode screen” for details.

22
#Z43848E-2
2-8-1. Tuning Mode Select Screen

Fig. 2-8-1. Tuning Mode Select Screen

Select tuning screens following the steps described in “2-8. Tuning Items and Steps” on this screen.
Only selected buttons are available depending on the servo amplifier tuning mode (TP01).

Note: You can not open more than one tuning screen at the same time.

23
#Z43848E-2
2-8-2. Tuning Semi-Auto Mode Screen

Fig. 2-8-2. Tuning Semi-Auto Mode Screen

This screen is used to command the servo amplifier to perform Auto Tuning operation for measuring load
inertial when the servo amplifier’s tuning mode (TP01) is set to “1: Semi-Auto mode.”
Set as the following when the screen opens:

TP02: Target Loop Gain to 20.0

TP03: Load Inertia Multiplication Rate to 1.0

TP04: Maximum Revolution shows the value set to the servo amplifier.
Set TP02 through TP04 to appropriate values according to the following notes before starting measurement.

TP02: Target Loop Gain – Set a conservative value to avoid hunting during tuning operation.
TP03: Load Inertial Multiplication Rate – Set a value if an approximate value is known.
TP04: Maximum Revolution – Set a maximum revolution for tuning operation.

Click the [Start] button to start measurement. Perform measurement by commutation three times TP03:
Load Inertia amplification Rate and change ratio of load inertia amplification rate (see the description below) will
be shown at the bottom of the screen after each measurement.

Change ratio = (value before measurement – value after measurement) / value before measurement x
100.0

After three times of measurement, “Normal” will be shown if the load inertial multiplication rate difference
between each measurement is less than 0.5, and “Error” if the value is over 0.5.

An error may be caused by

1. Extremely great load inertia amplification rate, or
2. Poor mechanical rigity.
If either is possible, measure the actual load inertia amplification rate at “2-3. To measure speed and electric
current changes during acceleration and deceleration and calculate load inertia:”

24
#Z43848E-2
2-8-3. Tuning Real-Time Mode Screen

Fig. 2-8-3. Tuning Real-Time Mode Screen

This screen is used to monitor TP03: Load inertial multiplication rate measured by the servo amplifier
during normal operation when the servo amplifier’s tuning mode (TP01) is set to “2: Real-Time mode.”
When this screen opens, the values set to servo amplifier parameters TP02: Target Loop Gain and TP03:
Load Inertia Amplification Rate are displayed.
Set values to TP02 and TP03 before starting ordinary operation.

TP02: Target Loop Gain – Set a conservative value to avoid hunting during tuning operation.
TP03: Load Inertial Multiplication Rate – Set a value if an approximate value is known.

Run ordinary operation after setting values to TP02 and TP03, and if a value displayed for TP03: Load
Inertia Amplification Rate gets stabilized and saturated, that means successful measurement of the load inertia
amplification rate.
After successful measurement of load inertia amplification rate, change TP01: Tuning Mode to “0:
Standard Mode.”

If load inertial amplification rate measurement has failed and a value for TP03: Load Inertia Amplification
Rate is not stabilized, the following causes are likely:

1. Extremely great load inertia multiplication rate, or

2. Poor mechanical rigidity.

If either is possible, measure the actual load inertia multiplication rate at “2-3. To measure speed and electric
current changes during acceleration and deceleration and calculate load inertia:”

25
#Z43848E-2
2-8-4. Tuning Manual Mode Screen

Fig. 2-8-4. Tuning Manual Mode Screen

When the servo amplifier parameter TP01: Tuning Mode is set to “0: Standard Mode” or “3: Manual Mode,”
you may measure the changes of speed and current on acceleration or deceleration during ordinary operation
and calculate load inertia on this screen.
Please note that that a great viscosity resistance makes servo adjustment work difficult. In such a case,
calculate viscosity friction (viscosity friction bending point frequency) and adjust gain.

(Load Inertia Measurement and Calculation Steps)

Open the Sampling Condition screen and measure speed and current changes during acceleration and
deceleration as illustrated above. Here, set Channel 1 to “Current (w/o Filter)” and Channel 2 to “Current (w/o
Filter).
When the measurement is over, enter the following values and click “Calc1” and “Calc2” buttons to
calculate load inertia. Units are specified in square brackets.
(Speed and current changes during acceleration)
t1: Acceleration start time, t2: Acceleration end time [s]
F1: Initial speed, F2: Ending speed [r/min]
I1: Acceleration start current, I2: Acceleration end current [A]
(Speed and current changes during deceleration)
t3: Deceleration start time, t4: Deceleration end time [s]
F3: Initial speed, F4: Ending speed [r/min]
I3: Deceleration start current, I4: Deceleration end current [A]

26
#Z43848E-2

In the Sampling Graphics screen, after measuring speed and current changes during acceleration, place
Cursor 1 and 2 on t1 and t2 respectively and click [Get Data[A]] button to acquire values t1 through I2.
In the same way, on the Sampling Condition screen, after measuring speed and current changes during
acceleration, place Cursor 1 and 2 on t3 and t4 respectively and click [Get Data[B]] button to acquire values
t1 through I2.

After finishing calculation of load inertia during acceleration and deceleration, click the [Average] button to
obtain the average value of two above values, and calculate load inertia ratio using the “Motor Inertia” value
from the “Amp Information” column on the right.
Units are specified in square brackets.

Load inertia ratio = Load inertia (obtained by calculation) / Motor inertia

After finishing the above calculation, specify the TP03: Load Inertia Ratio value on the Tuning Gain Setup
screen.
See “2-11. Tuning Gain Setup screen” for details on gain setting.

(Measuring Viscosity Friction Bending Point Frequency)

Please note that that a great viscosity resistance makes servo adjustment work difficult. In such a case,
calculate the viscosity friction (viscosity friction bending point frequency).
Measure a current value during rotation at a constant speed (F [r/min]), enter the value, and click the
[ωd = Kt * I / { F * 2π/ 60 * (Jm + Jl) }] button to obtain viscosity friction bending point frequency (wd in the
figure).
When a value obtained for the viscosity friction bending point frequency is smaller than a targeted positional
gain, no further work is required. Yet, if the value is greater, then adjust the value for TP05: Speed Loop
Integral Gain according to the viscosity friction bending point frequency.
See “2-11. Tuning Gain Setup screen” for details on gain setting.
