Figure 3-7: Wiring of the CMMB servo system
Warning
Before conducting any installation or maintenance work on the CMMB controller, switch
supply power off. After switching off the power, wait for at least 10 minutes before touching
any contacts and make sure that the charge lamp on the controller’s front panel is off.
Never open the device during operation. Keep all covers and control cabinet doors closed
during operation.
Never remove safety devices and never reach into live parts and components.
Connect the PE conductor correctly before switching on the controller.
12

Warning
The CMMB motor controller uses mains voltage for logic supply power. Even when supply
power to the controller is switched off and the DC bus is discharged (charge lamp at front is
off), the control power input X2: L1C/L2C may still have active mains voltage.
If the LED at the front of the motor controller is on, mains voltage must be expected at X2:
L1C/L2C.
Note
Use NEBM cables (see 2.1.3) to connect the CMMB motor controller to the EMMB servo motor,
and connect the PE wire of the NEBM motor cable to the left PE screw at the front of the
motor controller.
Do not subject the NEBM cables or the wires at the X2 connector to mechanical stressing.
Comply with international and local standards and laws for the wiring and installation of live
components in the electric cabinet such as fuses, circuit breakers and contactors in relation
with the mains power supply of the motor controller.
In order to comply with EMC directive and standards, use suitable RF filters for installation of
the motor controller mains supply.

4.3 Easy Use function
The Easy Use function helps users setup the CMMB motor controller for the main types of applications in a
very short time. The LED panel guides the userstep by step through the settings of the few most important
parameters in order to prepare the controller for the desired application. The servo control loops of the
motor controller are pre-configured to useful default settings which are adequate for many applications at as
they are. A robust auto-tuning function can be used additionally to identify the applied mechanical system
more precisely. After that, the user only needs to adjust the controller’s servo performance with the stiffness
parameter.
4.3.1 Setup process with Easy Use function
The process for setting up the CMMB motor controller with the Easy Use function follows a simple procedure.
Step 1: The parameters of the EASY panel menu have to be accessed and confirmed, or set one by one. The
auto-recognized motor type can be confirmed, the control interface has to be selected, interface-related
main parameters have to be set and the mechanical- and control-application types must be chosen.
Afterwards, these parameters have to be saved and the controller has to be rebooted. As a result of these
settings the controller is configured for a suitable I/O setting and the servo control loop parameters are set
to matching defaults. The controller is ready for use for a wide range of standard applications and can be
tested.
Step 2: If the servo control performance of the controller has to be further improved, the tunE panel menu
must be accessed. With the help of the functions in this menu, the controller can start an auto-tuning motor
run in order to identify motor load conditions and to measure the inertia. After that the controller calculates
the inertia ratio, which is the ratio of the measured inertia and the motor inertia. Depending on the obtained
inertia ratio the controller defines a suitable stiffness value for the servo behavior. Using the inertia ratio and
the stiffness value the controller tunes the servo loops automatically.
Step 3: Inside the tunE menu the stiffness can be adjusted up/down simply by panel buttons. The stiffness
adjustment can be done also during the testing of the application, while the controller is being commanded
via the selected command interface. After finding the best value for stiffness the tunE parameters need to be
saved and the controller is finally ready for use. If the adjustment of the stiffness does not result in the
required performance, the PC software “CMMB configurator” can be used to for further optimisation.

Note
Be aware of the different (default) setting of the digital I/O configuration after setting the
command type in EA02 or changing a motor type. When settings are changed, an active
function may be assigned to digital inputs which have not been in use before as a result of
the new defaults, and signals applied to the digital inputs may inadvertently trigger DIN
functions. It’s recommended to proceed with EASY menu settings with unplugged X4
connector or disconnected power supply to the digital inputs.
It’s strongly recommended to process the EASY menu with switched off drive power input.
Double check X4 wiring before switching on drive power input.
Information
The EASY and tunE menus are designed to be set with button originally. For safety reasons,
the EASY and tunE menus provide only the parameters EA00, EA01 and tn00 if any of
following cases happen, case 1: the user initializes the parameters by any way; case 2: a
motor type is connected to the controller which is different to the in EA01 confirmed one;
case 3: the motor type setting has been changed by other way rather than through EA01
(e.g. by PC software).
After the motor type becomes confirmed in EA01, the contents of the entries in the menus
get default values and the menus get back the full function.
The following pages show four different I/O function configurations based on different command type

4.3.3 Flowchart and description of the tunE menu
The tunE panel menu includes parameters and functions for auto-tuning with inertia measurement and servo
control loop adjustment via just one parameter, namely stiffness.
After processing the EASY menu, the controller defaults the stiffness value and the inertia_ratio based on
reasonable estimated values according to, load type and application settings in EA06.
If the inertia ratio is known based on the machine’s mechanical system and the payload, the value can be
entered directly in tn02 (see table 4-4). The inertia ratio does not need to be 100% correct to achieve
reasonable servo performance by adjustment of stiffness alone. But the more accurate the inertia ratio, the
better the tuning algorithm can match the different servo control loops to each other. That’s why it is highly
advisable to obtain a precise inertia ratio result by means of inertia measurement.
The following flowchart and table explain the procedure for settings in the tunE menu in detail.

Table 4-4: tunE parameters
LED Parameter Description Default

velocity loop and the position loop (see table 4-5). The larger the value, the
greater the stiffness. If this parameter is too large, gain will change
Belt: 10
tn01 Stiffness excessively and the machine will become unstable.
Screw: 13
When setting tn01 via the up and down buttons on the panel, entered
values are valid immediately, in order to ensure the input of small change
steps.
Ratio of total inertia and motor inertia (unit: 0.1) for example 30 represent
an inertia ratio of 3.
This value becomes defaulted by the EASY procedure and measured by the Belt: 50
tn02 Inertia_Ratio
inertia measuring function in the tunE menu (tn03). Screw: 30
When setting tn02 by the panel up down buttons, the data will be valid
immediately, to ensure the input of small change steps.
Writing 1 starts auto-tuning inertia measurement. The controller is enabled

and the motor executes an oscillating motion for less than 1s.
If tuning is successful, Tuning_Method indicates a value of 1. The measured
inertia is used to determine the Inertia_Ratio. Stiffness is set to 4 to 12
depending on the inertia ratio. The control loop parameters are set
according to Stiffness and Inertia_Ratio.
If the inertia measurement fails, Tuning_Method indicates the fail-reason:
0: The controller could not be enabled by any reason.
-1: Inertia cannot be measured due to too little motion or too little current.
tn03 Tuning_Method -2: The measured inertia result is outside the valid range.
-3: The resulting Inertia_Ratio value is greater than 250 (inertia ratio >
25). This is a possible result, but the control loop will not be tuned.
-4: The resulting Inertia_Ratio value is larger than 500 (inertia ratio > 50).
This is an uncertain result.
In the cases 0, -1, -2, -4 Inertia_Ratio is set to 30, in the case -3
Inertia_Ratio is set as measured, Stiffness is set to 7-10
In any fail case the control loop parameters are set to Inertia_Ratio of 30
and the set Stiffness values. To make the measured Inertia_Ratio of case -3
become effective, the value of tn02 must be confirmed by SET.

Information
When the setting for the stiffness or inertia ratio results in a Kvp value of greater than 4000, it
isn’t useful to increase stiffness any more
Note
The EASY procedure must be run first and completed, before tunE may be used.
Inertia measurement might cause the machine to oscillate, please be prepared to shut off
controller power immediately.
Provide enough mechanical space for motor oscillation during inertia measurement in order to
avoid machine damage.
Information
Reasons for the failure of tuning:

 Incorrect wiring of the CMMB servo system
 DIN function Pre_Enable is configured but not active
 Too much friction or external force is applied to the axis to be tuned
 Too big backlash in the mechanical path between the motor and the load
 Inertia ratio is too large
 The mechanical path contains too soft components (very soft belts or couplings)
For more information about tuning see chapter 7
25

4.3.4 Jog mode (F006)
The Jog mode is intended to be used for a motor test run by the buttons of the LED panel without the need
for any other command signal. No matter other Operation_Mode and velocity settings, in the Jog mode the
controller controls the motor rotating with the velocity set by Jog_RPM(d3.52) in instantaneous velocity
mode (Operation_Mode=-3, refered to chapter 6.1).
Steps of Jog operation:
Step 1: Check all wiring is right, ESAY flow has been completed.
Step 2: Enter panel address F003->d3.52, set Jog_RPM.
Step 3: Enter panel menu F006, address d6.40 appears, press several times until d6.15 appears, press
several times until d6.25 appears (this is a safety procedure to ensure the and buttons work properly
and do not stick in a pressed state).
Step 3: Press SET and the LED display shows ‘Jog’.
Step 4: Press and hold for positive direction or for negative direction. The controller will become
enabled automatically and the motor shaft will rotate with velocity Jog_RPM. Release and , to stop the
motor shaft.
If in Step 4 for more than 20 seconds none of or was pressed, the Jog operation will quit and a new
Jog operation needs to be started from Step 1 again.
Note
In the JOG mode configured Limit Switch functions are not working, the limit switches will be
ignored.
Be aware of the human reaction time when controlling the motor in Jog mode. Use slow
velocity settings for the Jog mode, especially if the motor travel is limited by mechanical
blocks.
Information
If the digital input function Pre_Enable is configured, the Jog mode requires this function active
either by the correct DIN signal or by DIN simulation, otherwise the Jog mode will cause a
controller error “External enable”.
4.3.5 Error History (F007)

The CMMB controller stores the last 8 errors in the error history. Enter panel menu F007, press SET, the
value of Error_State(2601.00) (see chapter 5.7, table 5-7) will be shown, if it displays 0001 then it’s an
extended error, press SET to show the value of Error_State2(2602.00) (see chapter 5.7, table 5-8).
Press ▲ or ▼ to go through all error history. On the LED display, from left to right, dot 3 indicates it’s the
earliest error, dot 4 indicates it’s the latest error. There’s mask to specify which errors will be stored in the
error history, please see chapter 5.5 for more details.
Table 4-6: Panel F007 example

F007 LED display Meaning
000.1 The latest error is Extended Error. Press “SET” key to see the Error_State 2(2602.00) value.

contradictory in any way, the selected digital input functions are handled simultaneously.
 Several digital input functions modify controller-internal control variables. Please
familiarise yourself with the information in chapter 6.1, especially regarding Controlword
and Operation_Mode, before modifying the configuration of any related digital input
function.

5.5.2 Digital outputs
The CMMB motor controller provides 5 digital outputs. The functions of these digital outputs can be
configured. Functions can be set via factory defaults or application default settings after processing the Easy
setup menu (see chapter 4). The functions of the digital outputs can also be freely configured also.
Figure 5-10: Digital output
Function: Click to select the OUT function setting. Click to delete the OUT function setting.
Simulate: Simulates the digital output function logic status 1.
1 means the digital output function is simulated as logic status 1
0 means no impact on the digital output function logic status
Polarity: Inverts the logic status of the digital output function.
1 means Real physical digital output is set to ON by digital output function logic status 1
0 means Real physical digital output is set to ON by digital output function logic status 0
Real: Shows the real digital output status. This is the result of Simulate, Polarity and the logic status of the
selected digital output function via the logic formula:
Real=(Dout_Function_Status OR Simulate) XOR (NOT Polarity)
1 means digital output ON
0 means digital output OFF
Information
More than one digital output function can be selected for a given digital output. The resulting
status is the OR logic of the selected digital output functions.

5.5.3 Gear ratio switch (expert only)
Information
This function is recommended for experienced users only.
There are 8 groups of gear ratio parameters which can be selected via the digital inputs. Gear ratio is only
used for pulse train mode (see chapter 6.5).
Table 5-4: Gear ratio switch

2508.01 Int16 Gear_Factor[0] Dec
2508.02 Uint16 Gear_Divider[0] Dec
35

2509.0A Uint16 Gear_Divider[5] Dec
2509.0B Int16 Gear_Factor[6] Dec
2509.0C Uint16 Gear_Divider[6] Dec
2509.0D Int16 Gear_Factor[7] Dec
2509.0E Uint16 Gear_Divider[7] Dec
The actual gear ratio is Gear_Factor[x], Gear_Divider[x], whereas x is the BCD code of
bit 0: Multifunction0
A bit which is not configured to a DIN is 0.
Example:
Figure 5-11 Din gear ratio switch example
Multifunction0=0, Multifunction1=1, Multifunction2=1, so x=6, actual gear ratio is Gear_Factor[6],

Gear_Divider[6].
5.5.4 Gain switch (expert only)
Information
This function is recommended for experienced users only, who are familiar with the basics of
servo loop tuning.
There are 4 groups of PI gain settings, where each group contains the proportional (Kvp) and integral (Kvi)
gain of the velocity control loop and the proportional gain (Kpp) of the position control loop. The CMMB
motor controller provides several methods for selecting a group of PI gain settings dynamically.
Table 5-5: PI gain setting group parameters

60F9.01 Uint16 Kvp[0] Dec, Hz
60F9.02 Uint16 Kvi[0] Dec
60FB.01 Int16 Kpp[0] Dec. Hz
2340.04 Uint16 Kvp[1] Dec, Hz
36

2340.05 Uint16 Kvi[1] Dec
2340.06 Int16 Kpp[1] Dec. Hz
2340.07 Uint16 Kvp[2] Dec, Hz
2340.08 Uint16 Kvi[2] Dec
2340.09 Int16 Kpp[2] Dec. Hz
2340.0A Uint16 Kvp[3] Dec, Hz
2340.0B Uint16 Kvi[3] Dec
2340.0C Int16 Kpp[3] Dec. Hz
60F9.28 Uint8 PI_Pointer Dec
60F9.09 Uint8 PI_Switch Dec

The actual PI settings are Kvp[x], Kvi[x], Kpp[x], x=PI_Pointer.
There are 3 methods for changing PI_Pointer.
Method 1: The Gain Switch 0 and / or Gain Switch 1 function is configured to DIN. PI_Pointer is the
BCD code of
bit 0: Gain Switch 0
bit 1: Gain Switch 1
If only one bit is configured, the other bit is 0.
Example:
Figure 5-12: Din gain switch example
Gain Switch0=1, Gain Switch1= 0, then PI_Pointer=1, the valid PI gain settings are Kvp[1], Kvi[1] and
Kpp[1]
Method 2: If Method 1 is not applied, set PI_Switch(6069.09) to 1. Then, while the motor is rotating, set
PI_Pointer ti =0. As soon as Pos Reached or Zero Speed, set PI_Pointer to =1
This is the function for a system which needs different PI gain settings for rotation and standstill.
Information
Refer to the OUT function table in chapter 5.5.2 for Pos Reached and Zero Speed definition.
Method 3: If neither method 1 nor method 2 is applied, the PI_Pointer value can be defined by the user.
The default setting of 0 is highly recommended.
37

5.5.5 Fast Capture
The Fast Capture function is used to capture the Position_Actual(6063.00) when the related DIN edge
occurs. Response time is maximum 2ms.
Table 5-6: Fast capture objects

2010.20 Uint8 Rising_Captured1 Dec
2010.21 Uint8 Falling_Captured1 Dec
2010.22 Uint8 Rising_Captured2 Dec
2010.23 Uint8 Falling_Captured2 Dec
2010.24 Int32 Rising_Capture_Position1 Dec
2010.25 Int32 Falling_Capture_Position1 Dec
2010.26 Int32 Rising_Capture_Position2 Dec
2010.27 Int32 Falling_Capture_Position2 Dec
When DIN function Fast_Capture1 is configured to DIN and a rising DIN edge occurs, Rising_Captured1 is
changed to 1. At the same moment Pos_Actual is stored to Rising_Capture_Position1. If a falling DIN edge
occurs, Falling_Captured1 is to 1. At the same moment Pos_Actual is stored to Falling_Capture_Position1.
Once Rising_Captured1 or Falling_Captured1 is changed to 1, the user needs to reset them to 0 for the next
capturing operation, because any further edges after the first one will not be captured.
See Fast_Capture1 concerning DIN function Fast_Capture2.
38

5.6 Scope
The scope function is for sampling the selected objects’ value with a flexible sample cycle (defined by
Sample Time) and a flexible total sample number (defined by Samples)
During operation, if performance does not meet the requirement or any other unexpected behaviour occurs,
it’s highly advisable to use the scope function to do the analysis.

Analog_out: Analog1_out or Analog2_out, depends on wiring and Analog_Speed_Con setting; It’s the result
of AIN real input, filter, offset and deadband.
Final result:
Analog_Speed control ON:
If Analog_out is not limited by Analog_Dead_High or Analog_Dead_Low:
Target speed[rpm]=Analog_out[V]*Analog_Speed_Factor[rpm/V]; otherwise Target speed[rpm]=0.
Analog_MaxTorque control ON:

Setting: Analog1_Dead=1V, Analog1_Offset=2V, Analog_Speed_Factor=100rpm/V, Analog_Speed_Con=1,
Analog_Dead_High=0V; Analog_Dead_Low=0V;
Where AIN1 input voltage is 5V:
AIN1_in=5V–2V=3V, |AIN1_in| >Analog1_Dead, so Analog1_out=3V–1V=2V;
Target speed=2*100=200rpm.
Where AIN1 input voltage is -5V:
AIN1_in=-5V–2V=-7V, |AIN1_in|>Analog1_Dead, so Analog1_out=-7V+1V=-6V;
Target speed=-6*100=-600rpm.

The position table mode is used to run a positioning flow with up to 32 tasks in the position mode. Each task
includes information about target position, velocity, acceleration, deceleration, next task stop / go, next task
index, condition to go to next index, total loops and etc.
The Start PosTable function must be configured to a DIN in order to make the position table mode
available. Other position table functions are optional.

The DIN Start PosTable signal (rising edge) triggers the entry index (specified via the DIN function) task,
but whether or not the task is executed depends on the start condition (CTL reg bit14-15). After one task is
finished, it goes to the next index (CTL reg bit0-4) or stops, depending on Next / Stop (CTL reg bit 8),
Condition (CTL reg bit 9-11) and Loops. The current index box shows the index of the task which is being
executed.
Up to 32 position control tasks can be set, and each task contains the following items:
Idx: Index of task, range: 0-31
Posinc: Position command
Speed rpm: Speed command during positioning
Delay ms: Delay time before going next index(unit: ms).
Accidx, Dec idx: Range: 0-7, index of profile acceleration, deceleration during positioning, related acc / dec
value is set in following area fields:

0: OR; Condition = (Condition0||Condition1).
Condition = 1 if neither Cond0 nor Cond1 is ON
Condition = Condition0 if only Cond0 is ON
Condition = Condition1 if only Cond1 is ON
Bits 12-13: MODE, mode of the position command,
0 (A): Posinc is the absolute position.
1 (RN): Posinc is the position relative to current target position.
2 (RA): Posinc is the position relative to the actual position.
52

Bits 14-15: StartCond, start condition. If this task is triggered by the Start PosTable signal, normally the
controller will execute it immediately, but if there’s a positioning task still running:
0 (ignore): ignore.
1 (wait): execute this command after current task is finished (without delay).
2 (interrupt): interrupt the current task, execute this command immediately.
For convenience, all CTL_Reg bits can be set in the following fields:
Figure 6-4: CTL Reg edit
Loops: Defines loop limit for the task which is running in loops;
0: no limit,
≥ 1: position flow stops when loop count = loops, or if the next index’s loop count = next index’s
loops.
Position control task information can be copied to another row. Right click a selected row and the following
selection window appears:
Figure 6-5: Position table copy
Click Copy Row and then click PasteRow in another selected row.
When the position table is completed, click the button to write it to the controller.
Start the table via DIN with the Start PosTable function. The entry index task is triggered and position flow
is started (via StartCond rule).
The DIN AbortPosTable signal (rising edge) or deleting the Start PosTable function configuration in DIN
aborts a running position flow after the currently running task is finished.
Position flow is aborted immediately if an error occurs or if the Operation_Mode is changed.

6.6 Homing mode (6)

For some applications, the system needs to start from the same position every time after power on. In the
homing mode, the user can specify the system’s home position and a zero (starting) position.

Note
Homing_Power_On=1 causes the motor to start rotating as soon as the controller is enabled
after power on or reboot. Consider all safety issues before using.
Home_N_Blind:
If the homing_method needs home signal (position limit / home switch) and index signal, Home_N_Blind
function can avoid the homing result being different with the same mechanics, when the Index signal is very
close to the home signal. By setting to 1 before homing, the controller detects a suitable blind window for
homing automatically. It can be used to assure that homing results are always the same.
During homing, the index signal inside this blind window is ignored after the home signal is found.
Home_N_Blind (0:0rev;1:0.25rev;2:0.5rev) is defaulted to 0. If it's set to 1, it’s changed to 0 or 2 after
homing depending on the index signal position relative to the homing signal.This parameter needs to be
saved. If the mechanical assembly is changed or the motor has been replaced, just set it to 1 again for initial
homing.

Figure 7-1: Servo system control block diagram
Figure 7.1 shows the servo system control block diagram. It can be seen from the figure that the servo
system generally includes three control loops: current loop, velocity loop and position loop.
The adjustment process of a servo system is used to set loop gain and filters to match the mechanical
characteristics, and finally to prevent the entire system from oscillating, to permit it to follow commands
quickly and to eliminate abnormal noise.
7.1 Auto-tuning
The auto-tuning function will try to stimulate the motor and load system by some motions, and get the
inertia of the load. If auto-tuning is successful, stiffness will be auto-set according to the inertia ratio.

Caution: auto-tuning causes the motor to oscillate for about 1 second and the maximum oscillation range is
roughly 0.5 rev: make sure that your machine system can withstand this oscillation.

alsoresults in greater oscillation.
7.1.2 Start of auto-tuning
Via the LED panel (see chapter 4.3):

Open the tunE menu in the LED panel and go to tn03.
Write 1 to tn03. The motor oscillates with a small amplitude, the oscillation lasts less than 1s.
If tn03 remains at 1 after auto-tuning is done, auto-tuning has been successful. Otherwise it has failed (see
7.1.3).
Via PC software:
Click CMMB Configurator menu item Controller->Operation Modes->Auto-tuning
Figure 7-3: Auto-tuning
Write 1 to TUN CTL (3041.05), and then write 1 to Tuning Method (3040.01). The motor oscillates for less
than 1s and the results appear. If Inertia_Get_Result(3040.09) = 1 the tuning process was able to obtain a
valid Inertia_Ratio(3040.0B). Otherwise the tuning process has failed, see 7.1.3 for hints. Write 1 to the
Tuning_Method(3041.01) again to check that the Inertia_Ratio result is reproducible. If not, carefully
66

increase Safe_Dist(3040.06) to get more precise results. If the machine shakes too much, reduce_Safe_Dist
to reduce oscillation.
7.1.3 Problems with auto-tuning
If the tuning process has failed, the error result of tn03 / Inertia_Get_Result(3040.09) tells the fail-reason:
0: The controller could not be enabled by any reason.
-1: Inertia cannot be measured due to too little motion or too little current.
-2: The measured inertia result is outside the valid range.
-3: The resulting Inertia_Ratio value is greater than 250 (inertia ratio > 25). This is a possible result,
but the control loop will not be tuned.
-4: The resulting Inertia_Ratio value is larger than 500 (inertia ratio > 50). This is an uncertain result.
In the cases 0, -1, -2, -4 Inertia_Ratio is set to 30, in the case -3 Inertia_Ratio is set as measured, Stiffness
is set to 7-10
In any fail case the control loop parameters are set to Inertia_Ratio of 30 and the set Stiffness values. To
make the measured Inertia_Ratio of case -3 become effective, the value of tn02 must be confirmed by SET
or the Inertia_Ratio(3040.0B) must be written once.
Information
Reasons for the failure of auto-tuning:

 Incorrect wiring of the CMMB servo system
 DIN function Pre_Enable is configured but not active
 Too much friction or external force is applied to the axis to be tuned
 Too big backlash in the mechanical path between the motor and the load
 Inertia ratio is too large
 The mechanical path contains too soft components (soft belts or couplings)
If none of those reasons can be encountered, Safe_Dist may be increased in order to remedy problems. If
auto-tuning still fails, manual tuning (see chapter 7.2) is adviced to be executed.
7.1.4 Adjustment after auto-tuning.
After auto-tuning the stiffness is set to a value in the range of 4 to 12. The greater the inertia ratio, the
smaller the stiffness value will be.

Stiffness should be adjusted according to the actual requirement.

If response is too slow  increase stiffness. If oscillation or noise increases  reduce stiffness.
If the command from the controller (e.g. PLC) is unreasonable or inappropriate for the machine, some filters
should be modified in order to reduce oscillation (see chapter 7.3 manual tuning).
Information
When the stiffness setting or the inertia ratio increases Kvp to a value of greater than 4000, it’s
not useful to increase stiffness any more, and bandwidth will be decreased if the inertia ratio is
further increased. If changing stiffness via communication, WriteFUN_CTL(3041.05) must be
set to 1 first, and be set back to 0 after stiffness has been changed.
7.2 Manual tuning

If the auto-tuning function does not support the actual application, or if the application has a gap, inertia
changes or a very soft connection, manual tuning is the right choice.
The manual tuning process makes use of test motion. Match the controller to the actual application on the
basis of experience with the application and a given scope of data by changing loop gain and filter settings.
Since current loop parameters are calculated internally based on the motor parameters, there is normally no
need to set current loop parameters manually.
7.2.1 Tuning of the velocity loop
Steps required for adjustment:

Ensure limiting of velocity loop bandwidth
Velocity loop bandwidth limits position loop bandwidth and thus adjustment of velocity loop bandwidth is
important.
Limitation of velocity loop bandwidth can be judged from several viewpoints.
1) According to oscillation and noise sensed with the finger and the ears: This method is based on
experience, but it’s efficient. The user can listen to or touch the machine, at the same time increasing and
reducing the kvp. When an acceptable maximum kvp value is found, the current setting can be specified as
the maximum velocity loop bandwidth.
2) According to the scope image: The user can create a jump command for velocity control and sample
actual velocity and current while changing kvp. The right velocity curve should quickly fulfil the command
without oscillation and unusual noise.

Velocity feedback filter adjustment

The velocity feedback filter can reduce noise that comes from the feedback path, e.g. reduce encoder
resolution noise. The velocity feedback filter can be configured as 1st and 2nd order via the Speed_Mode for
different applications. The 1st order filter reduces noise to a lesser extent, but its alsoresults in less phase
shifting so that velocity loop gain can be set higher. The 2nd order filter reduces noise to a greater extent,
but its also results in more phase shifting so that velocity loop gain can be limited.
Normally, if the machine is stiff and light, we can use the 1st feedback filter or disable the feedback filter. If
the machine is soft and heavy, we can use the 2nd order filter.
If there’s too much motor noise when velocity loop gain is adjusted, velocity loop feedback filter parameter
Speed_Fb_N can be reduced accordingly. However, velocity loop feedback filter bandwidth F must be more
than twice as large as the velocity loop bandwidth. Otherwise, it may cause oscillation. Velocity loop
feedback filter bandwidth F=Speed_Fb_N*20+100 [Hz].
69

Output filter adjustment
The output filter is a 1st order torque filter. It can reduce the velocity control loop to output high frequency
torque, which may stimulate overall system resonance.
The user can try to adjust Output_Filter_N from small to large in order to reduce noise.
The filter bandwidth can be calculated using the following formula.
Velocity loop bandwidth calculation

Use the following formula to calculate velocity loop bandwidth:
kt motor torque constant, unit: Nm/Arms*100

J inertia, unit: kg*m^2*10^6
Fbw Velocity loop bandwidth, unit: Hz
Imax max motor current I_max(6510.03) as DEC value
encoder resolution of the encoder
Integral gain adjustment

Integral gain is used to eliminate static error. It can boost velocity loop low frequency gain, and increased
integral gain can reduce low frequency disturbance response.
Normally, if the machine has considerable friction, integral gain (kvi) should be set to a higher value.
If the entire system needs to respond quickly, integral should be set to a small value or even 0, and the gain
switch should be used.
Adjust Kvi_sum_limit
Normally the default value is fine. This parameter should be added if the application system has a big extend
force, or should be reduced if the output current is easily saturation and the saturation output current will
cause some low frequency oscillation.

Position loop proportional gain adjustment

Increasing position loop proportional gain can improve position loop bandwidth, thus reducing positioning
time and following error, but setting it too high will cause noise or even oscillation. It must be set according
to load conditions. Kpp = 103 * Pc_Loop_BW, Pc_Loop_BW is position loop bandwidth. Position loop
bandwidth cannot exceed velocity loop bandwidth. Recommended velocity loop bandwidth:
Pc_Loop_BW<Vc_Loop_BW / 4, Vc_Loop_BW.
Position loop velocity feedforward adjustment

Increasing the position loop velocity feedforward can reduce position following error, but can result in
increased overshooting. If the position command signal is not smooth, reducing position loop velocity
feedforward can reduce motor oscillation.
The velocity feedforward function can be treated as the upper controller (e.g. PLC) have a chance to directly
control the velocity in a position operation mode. In fact this function will expend part of the velocity loop
response ability, so if the setting can’t match the position loop proportional gain and the velocity loop
bandwidth, the overshot will happen.
Besides, the velocity which feedforward to the velocity loop may be not smooth, and with some noise signal
inside, so big velocity feedforward value will also amplified the noise.
Position loop acceleration feedforward

It is not recommended that the user adjust this parameter. If very high position loop gain is required,
acceleration feedforward K_Acc_FF can be adjusted appropriately to improve performance.
The acceleration feedforward function can be treat as the upper controller (e.g. PLC) have a chance to
directly control the torque in a position operation mode. in fact this function will expend part of the current
loop response ability, so if the setting can’t match the position loop proportional gain and the velocity loop
bandwidth, the overshot will happen.
Besides, the acceleration which feedforward to the current loop can be not smooth, and with some noise
signal inside, so big acceleration feedforward value will also amplified the noise.
Acceleration feedforward can be calculated with the following formula:
ACC_%=6746518/ K_Acc_FF/ EASY_KLOAD*100
ACC_%: the percentage which will be used for acceleration feedforward.
K_Acc_FF(60FB.03): the final internal factor for calculating feedforward.
EASY_KLOAD(3040.07): the load factor which is calculated from auto-tuning or the right inertia ratio input.
Information
The smaller the K_Acc_FF, the stronger the acceleration feedforward.
Smoothing filter
The smoothing filter is a moving average filter. It filters the velocity command coming from the velocity
generator and makes the velocity and position commands more smooth. As a consequence, the velocity
command will be delayed in the controller. So for some applications likeCNC, it’s better not to use this filter
and to accomplish smoothing with the CNC controller.
71

The smoothing filter can reduce machine impact by smoothing the command. The Pos_Filter_N parameter
define the time constant of this filter in ms. Normally, if the machine system oscillates when it starts and
stops, a larger Pos_Filter_N is suggested.
Notch filter
The notch filter can suppress resonance by reducing gain around the resonant frequency.
Antiresonant frequency=Notch_N*10+100
Setting Notch_On to 1 turns on the notch filter. If the resonant frequency is unknown, the user can set the
maximum value of the d2.14 current command small, so that the amplitude of system oscillation lies within
an acceptable range, and then try to adjust Notch_N and observe whether the resonance disappears.
Resonant frequency can be measured roughly according to the Iq curve when resonance occurs on the
software oscilloscope.

7.3 Factors which influence tuning results

The control command is created by the upper controller (e.g. PLC):
The control command should be smooth as much as possible, and must be correct. For example, the control
command should not create the acceleration commands (inside the position commands) that the motor
cannot provide. Also, the control command should follow the bandwidth limit of the control loop.
The machine design:

In the actual application, performance is normally limited by the machine. Gaps in the gears, soft connection
in the belts, friction in the rail, resonance in the system – all of these can influence final control performance.
Control performance affects the machine’s final performance, as well as precision, responsiveness and
stability. However, final machine performance is not only determined by control performance.

Chapter 10 Communication
The CMMB motor controller can be controlled, configured or monitored via a RS232 communication interface
(X3) using the following interface and protocol description.
10.1 RS232 wiring

If the motor controller should be controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC) or other controllers via
the a RS485 communication interface, a RS485 to RS232 converterhas to be used.
10.1.1 Point to point connection
Figure 10-1: Communication wiring between PC (DSub 9-pin) and CMMB controller
10.1.2 Multi-point connection
The communication protocol provides network operation with a host computer operating as a master and
several CMMB controllers working as communication slaves （RS232_Loop_Enable(d5.15) must be set to1,
save and reboot the controller after setting). In that case the RS232 cabling must have a loop structure as
follows:
PC 2 RX
5 GND
3TX
6 4 3 6 4 3 6 4 3
X3
ID=1
X3
ID=2
… X3
ID=n
Figure 10-2: Communication wiring between PC (DSub 9-pin) and multiple CMMB controllers
10.2 Transport protocol

RS232 communication of the CMMB motor controller strictly follows master / slave protocol. The host
computer send data to the CMMB controller. The controller checks the data regarding a checksum and the
correct ID number, processes the data and returns an answer. Default communication settings for the CMMB
motor controller are as follows:
Baud rate = 38,400 bps
Data bits = 8
Stop bits = 1
No parity check
The baud rate can be changed in RS232 BaudRate(d5.02). After changing the value it’s necessary to save
the setting and reboot the system.
The controller’s ID can be changed in Node ID(d5.02).
The transport protocol uses a telegram with a fixed length of 10 bytes.
83

byte 0 byte 1 …byte 8 byte 9
ID data CHKS
ID: The ID number of the slave

CHKS: Telegram checksum, CHKS = SUM(byte 0 …. byte 8)
10.2.1 Point to point protocol
One host communicates with one controller, RS232_Loop_Enable(d5.15)=0)

The host sends:
ID host data CHKS
The slave sends / The host receives

ID slave data CHKS
If the slave finds it’s own ID in the host telegram, it checks the CHKS value. If the checksum does not match
the slave would not generate an answer and the host telegram would be discarded.
10.2.2 Multi-point protocol
One host communicates with several controllers, RS232_Loop_Enable(d5.15)=1

The host sends:
byte 0 byte 1 … byte 8 byte 9
ID host data CHKS
The slave sends / The host receives (RS232_Loop_Enable(d5.15)=1):

byte 0 byte 1 … byte 8 byte 9 byte 0 byte 1 … byte 8 byte 9
ID host data CHKS ID slave data CHKS
If the host sends a telegram with an unused ID data will pass the RS232 loop but no slave answer will return.
The slave which finds it’s own ID in the host telegram checks the CHKS value. If the checksum does not
match the slave would not generate an answer and the host telegram would be discarded by that slave.
10.3 Data protocol

The data content of the transport protocol is the data protocol. It contains 8 bytes. The definition of the
CMMB motor controller’s RS232 data protocol is compatible with the CANopen SDO protocol, as well as the
internal data organisation complies to the CANopen standard. All parameters, values and functions are
accessible via a 24-bit address, built of a 16-bit index and 8-bit sub-index.

10.3.1 Download (from host to slave)
Download means that the host sends a command to write values to the objects in the slave, the slave
generates an error message if when the value is downloaded to a non-existent object.
The host sends:
byte 0 byte 1 byte 2 byte 3 byte 4 byte 5 byte 6 byte 7
SUB
CMD INDEX DATA
INDEX
CMD: Specifies the direction of data transfer and the size of data.
23 (hex) Sends 4-byte data (bytes 4...7 contain 32 bits)
2b (hex) Sends 2-byte data (bytes 4 and 5 contain 16 bits)
2f (hex ) Sends 1-byte data (bytes 4 contains 8 bits)
INDEX: Index in the object dictionary where data should be sent
SUB INDEX: Sub-index in object dictionary where data should be sent
DATA: 8, 16 or 32 bit value
The slave answers:

SUB
RES INDEX RESERVED
INDEX
RES: Displays slave response:
60(hex) Data successfully sent
80(hex) Error, bytes 4…7 contain error cause
INDEX: 16-bit value, copy of index in host telegram
SUBINDEX: 8-bit value, copy of sub index in host telegram
RESERVED: Not used
10.3.2 Upload (from slave to host)
Upload means the master sends a command to read the object value from the slave. The slave
generates an error if a non-existent object is requested.
The master sends:
SUB
CMD INDEX RESERVED
INDEX
CMD: Specifies the direction of data transfer
40(hex) always
INDEX: 16-bit value, index in the object dictionary where requested data reside.
SUBINDEX: 8-bit value, index, sub index in the object dictionary where requested data reside.
RESERVED: Bytes 4…7 not used
85

The slave answers:
SUB
RES INDEX DATA

RES: Displays slave response:
43(hex) bytes 4...7 contain 32-bit data
4B(hex) bytes 4 and 5 contain 16-bit data
4F(hex) byte 4 contains 8-bit data
80(hex) error, bytes 4 … 7 contain error cause
INDEX: 16-bit value, copy of index in host telegram
SUBINDEX: 8-bit value, copy of subindex in host telegram
DATA: Data or error cause, depending on RES
