Manual Tuning Using the Velocity Zone Method
Learn a systematic step-by-step approach to manually tune servo axis PID controllers using the velocity zone method. This guide demonstrates how to isolate velocity parameters (KD, FV) from position parameters (KP, KI, FA) for easier tuning with GalilTools scope. The method simplifies traditional PID tuning by focusing on velocity profile matching first, then optimizing position response for optimal servo performance.
