ANTI-RESONANCE
(Electronic Damping) |
Raises the system damping ratio to eliminate midrange instability and allow stable operation throughout the speed range and improves settling time |
| TORQUE RIPPLE SMOOTHING |
Allows for fine adjustment of phase current waveform harmonic content to reduce low-speed torque ripple in the range 0.25 to 1.5 rps |
| AUTO SETUP |
Measures motor parameters and configures motor current control and anti-resonance gain settings |
| SELF TEST |
Checks Internal & External Power supply voltages. Diagnoses open motor phases and motor resistance changes >40%. Detects encoder wiring and signal faults (differential encoder only) |
| MICROSTEP EMULATION |
Performs high resolution stepping by synthesizing fine microsteps from coarse steps (Step & Direction Mode Only) |
| COMMAND SIGNAL SMOOTHING |
Software configurable filtering reduces jerk and excitation of extraneous system resonances (Step & Direction Mode Only) |
