First, this is a gain multiplied by the current rate of change in the position error. The differential
drive, in millivolts is computed as follows:

where:

K

d

=

Differential Gain in mV/[pos-units/ms]

E

0

=

position error this control loop in position units

E

1

=

position error last control loop in position units

LoopTime =

RMC Control Loop Time in ms (1 or 2)


A second equivalent way of viewing this parameter is as the gain multiplied by the velocity error.
When looked at from this angle, the above equations become the following:


where:

K

d

=

Differential Gain in mV/[pos-units/s]

TarVel =

target velocity in pos-units/s

ActVel =

actual velocity in pos-units/s

Note:

The actual drive output may be reduced based on the values of the Extend Feed Forward

and Retract Feed Forward.

CAUTION:

To avoid oscillation during initial tuning start with values below 10.

Why Bother?
The Differential Gain field will usually be set to zero. Noisy or low-resolution feedback will limit the
amount the Differential Gain can be increased.
