6.2.6. Load Inertia Setting
In order to use values of Loop Gains that are closely related to the 
characteristics of your system, loop gains are normalized in Hertz. This 
normalization of parameters is done according to the assumed inertia of the 
system. 
You should do a rough estimation of the inertia of the load for your system 
and input its value in the Load Inertia Ratio parameter (Pn103). 
Set Pn103 to the following value. 
Pn103 =
