Friction Compensation
The friction compensation block is used to calculate breakaway torque and the
torque required to keep the motor running at a constant speed due to friction.
For more information on friction compensation, see
.
Virtual Encoder
The virtual encoder can be used as a position master for position follower
applications (see
Position Loop - Follower (Electronic Gearing) on page 90
for
details on position control). The advantage of following a virtual encoder instead
of actual encoder feedback is that the virtual encoder reference is much smoother
and is not subject to noise.
The virtual encoder block generates a position counter based on the speed
reference in parameter 43 [Ramped Spd Ref ]. Parameter 61 [Virt Encoder EPR]
is used to specify the desired edges per revolution for the virtual encoder. For
example if parameter 61 is 4096 EPR, this would be equivalent to a 1024 PPR
quadrature encoder.
Parameter 62 [Virt Encdr Posit] is a 32-bit integer that contains the pulse count
output of the virtual encoder block.
Parameter 63 [Virt Encdr Dlyed] is a 32-bit integer that contains the pulse count
output of the virtual encoder block delayed by one scan of the speed reference
loop. This parameter can be used to send a virtual position reference over
SynchLink for position follower applications. Refer to
for more details.
