Range: ≥ 0
Default Value: 0
Description
This gain is only valid when Active Damping is selected. The Active Damping Proportional
Gain controls how much the Control Output is adjusted based on the change in the Actual
Acceleration or the Actual Force.
Each gain of the axis contributes to the Control Output. In position control, the
contribution from the Active Damping Proportional Gain is called the Double Differential
Output Term. In velocity control, the contribution from the Active Damping Proportional
Gain is called the Differential Output Term. Notice that in velocity control with active
damping, the Differential Gain is not used.
Position control is defined as when the Current Control Mode is Position PID or Position I-
PD. Velocity control is defined as when the Current Control Mode is Velocity PID or
Velocity I-PD.
Tuning
See the Tuning Active Damping and Acceleration Control topic for details.
Mathematical Definition
The Active Damping Proportional Gain units are: percent of the maximum Control Output
per position unit per second squared. The maximum Control Output is 10V, but can be
changed using the Output Scale parameter.
