About
Among the most troubling tasks in machine building can be tuning the servo system to meet or exceed the performance specification. Invariably, we have all sat at the machine and asked ourselves, “What three numbers should I put in this proportional-integrated-derivative (PID) controller?” However, when tuning, it is not always about the PID gains. Many other factors affect the tuning and can be changed to improve the machine performance.

This webcast will discuss aspects of controller design, including control loop structures, controller characteristics and using frequency-based tools for gain selection and machine characterization. This will be presented in two parts.
Part two will cover more advanced frequency domain usage, including different frequency responses (plant, inverse feedforward and sensitivity) and dealing with non-linearity, such as small signal analysis and friction.
