- 1. Select the axis by clicking on the appropriate radio button on the axis selection panel.
- 2. Use the terminal window to send the SH* (where * = X, Y, Z, W, E, F, G, H) command to enable the servo motor.
- 3. Set default values for the gains.
- 4. Increase KP, KD, KI gains accordingly, by moving the horizontal scroll bars above each gain label. Moving the bar to the righ...
- 5. For KI and KP, click inside the bar to change the value by 1. Click the arrow on the bar to change the value by 0.1.
- 6. For KD, click inside the bar to change value by 10. Click the arrow on the bar to change value by 1.
- Autotuning
- 1. Select the axis to be tuned, by clicking on the appropriate icon button in the axis selection panel.
- 2. Use the terminal window to send the SH* (where * = X, Y, Z, W, E, F, G, H) command to enable the servo motor.
- 3. Click on the Autotune button. The dialog screens shown in Figures 15 and 15A will appear. If Autotuning was previously performed on this axis, previous values used will be loaded.

- Figure 19A: Autotuning Dialog Screen
- 4. Select the desired level of rigidity for tuning the system from the Rigidity Setting panel.
- 5. Select the desired machine configuration (appearing in the Advanced Configuration panel) from the available options list.
- 6. Enter the motor to load gear ratio.
- 7. Check the Use Integrator (KI) box to include the integration constant of the PID loop in the autotune calculations.
- 8. Select the correct number of Pulse per revolution pre- quadrature for your specific motor or the linear scale resolution if a linear encoder is to be turned.
- 9. Click on Tune to execute the Autotune program. Click Cancel to close the dialog screen and cancel the Autotune operation.

- Printing The Graphs
- Storage Scope
- 1. Click on Scope on the Tuning Screen to display the screen shown below:
- Figure 22: Storage Scope Parameters Screen
- 2. Determine and select Sample Time (in milliseconds) so the Controller will sample the selected data at the appropriate intervals.
- 3. Determine number of points to sample and display on the graph.
- 4. The time frame in which the controller samples the data is a function of: Sample Time x Points to Graph. This number is displayed in Scope Time frame box on the Storage Scope Graph.
- 5. Enter an optional command to be executed before starting to store the data. Example: Enter the command XQ to execute the program on the controller.
- 6. Choose the type of graph.
- 7. Define the data to be sampled. Click on the desired channel tab. The dialog box appears as follows:
- Figure 23: Storage Scope Parameters Channel Screen
