81 ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION TYPES
1.1 Adjustment functions available when using the servo amplifier alone
1ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION TYPES
A servo amplifier is equipped with various servo parameters that can be used to adjust operation status. To maximize the
machine's performance, these servo parameters must be set in accordance with the machine's characteristics. When using
the factory setting, the gain adjustment is set to "Auto tuning mode 1". Use each adjustment function to improve the
responsiveness.
Precautions
• When using torque mode, gain adjustment is not required.
• Before performing gain adjustment, check that your machine is not being operated at the maximum torque of the servo
motor. If operated in excess of the maximum torque, the machine may vibrate and operate unexpectedly. In addition, adjust
gains taking into account that each machine is different. It is recommended to limit the torque generated by the servo motor
during operation to 90 % or less of the maximum torque of the servo motor.
• If the torque of the servo motor reaches the torque limit value, changing the gain will not change the response of the servo
motor and gain adjustment cannot be performed accurately.
• When using a linear servo motor, the terms below have the following meanings.
Load to motor inertia ratio →Load to motor mass ratio
Torque →Thrust

By combining with MR Configurator2 and a servo amplifier, the following adjustment functions can be used additionally.
Adjustment function Outline Reference
Machine analyzer Use this function to accurately adjust the mechanical resonance suppression filter when the characteristics
of the mechanical resonance are known.
With the machine and servo motor connected, the characteristics of the mechanical system can be
measured by giving a random vibration command from a personal computer to the servo amplifier and
then measuring the responsiveness of the machine.

One-touch tuning using the
amplifier command method
Use this function to prioritize time reduction of settling and gain adjustment over overshoot suppression.
To generate an optimum command inside the servo amplifier and perform one-touch tuning, simply input a
travel distance that avoids collision with the machine (a permissible travel distance) when driving the servo
motor on MR Configurator2.

12 2 ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
2ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Adjust the servo amplifier using the following procedure.
• When the MR-J5_-_G_ or MR-J5-_A_ with firmware version C4 or later is used, it is recommended to set
[Pr. PA24.5 Load to motor inertia ratio/load to motor mass ratio estimation higher precision selection] to "1".
When [Pr. PA24.5] is set to "0", [Pr. PB06 Load to motor inertia ratio/load to motor mass ratio] may be
estimated at a value smaller than the accurate estimation depending on the operation pattern. Setting [Pr.
PA24.5] to "1" with the equipment on which the gain is adjusted may change the actual movement. Check
the movement of the equipment after changing the settings.

14 3 ADJUSTMENT METHOD
3.1 Quick tuning
3ADJUSTMENT METHOD
3.1 Quick tuning
To use quick tuning, set [Pr. PA08.0 Gain adjustment mode selection] to "5". Quick tuning performs gain adjustment for the
servo amplifier when servo-on is turned on. The characteristics of quick tuning are as follows:
• Has the ability to reduce the overshoot regardless of machine type or load size and is effective when reducing the
overshoot is prioritized over shortening the settling time.
• Adjustment available without the positioning operation
Restrictions on quick tuning
Quick tuning is not available in the following situations:
• During one-touch tuning
• In the torque mode
• In the continuous operation to torque control mode
• When using adaptive filter II
Precautions on quick tuning
• Do not use quick tuning in a tandem system or master-slave operation.
• Some noise due to the applied vibration torque may occur during quick tuning, but the noise is not an abnormality.
• When the load to motor inertia ratio is more than 100 times, quick tuning cannot adjust the gain appropriately. Adjust the
gain by using an alternative method such as auto tuning.
• When quick tuning is enabled (performed), the time until the servo amplifier actually enters the servo-on state after turning
on the servo-on command increases by up to 300 ms.
• When the torque limit value is less than 30 % of the rated torque, the torque required for quick tuning cannot be generated,
and quick tuning may fail. Set the torque limit value to exceed 30 % of the rated torque for quick tuning.
• If the travel distance for quick tuning exceeds the set value in [Pr. PA34 Quick tuning - Permissible travel distance], quick
tuning will be stopped.
• [Pr. PB11 Speed differential compensation] will be changed to the initial value if quick tuning is used.
• When friction is 30 % or more of the rated torque, quick tuning may fail. In this case, adjust the gain with one-touch tuning
or auto tuning.

Operation of quick tuning
When quick tuning is started, the servo amplifier applies vibration torque instantly, then adjusts each gain and the machine
resonance suppression filter by using the response from that excitation. The maximum vibration torque that can be applied is
60 % of the rated torque. However, the vibration torque is limited by the torque limit value when the torque limit value is less
than 60 % of the rated torque. The adjustment takes about 300 ms.
When magnetic pole detection is executed, quick tuning will be started after the magnetic pole detection.
Once gain adjustment by quick tuning is complete, the gain can be changed as in the manual mode. In addition, the load to
motor inertia ratio will be always estimated as in auto tuning mode 1 after gain adjustment.
The following servo parameters are adjusted automatically in quick tuning.
Errors in quick tuning
Quick tuning may fail under the following conditions:
• When torque reaches the torque limit value during quick tuning
• When the travel distance for quick tuning exceeds the set value in [Pr. PA34 Quick tuning - Permissible travel distance]
When quick tuning fails, the servo parameter values from before quick tuning will be restored.

18 3 ADJUSTMENT METHOD
3.2 One-touch tuning
3.2 One-touch tuning
By turning on one-touch tuning during servo motor operation, one-touch tuning performs an adjustment in accordance with
the machine characteristics. One-touch tuning can be performed using either of two methods: the user command method and
the amplifier command method.
User command method
The user command method performs one-touch tuning by inputting commands from outside the servo amplifier. Although it is
necessary to input commands from outside of the servo amplifier, an optimum adjustment that takes both mechanical
characteristics and commands into account can be made.
Amplifier command method
With the amplifier command method, simply input a travel distance that avoids collision with the machine (a permissible travel
distance) when driving the servo motor to generate an optimum command inside the servo amplifier and perform one-touch
tuning. This method allows for one-touch tuning to be performed more easily than with the user command method as it does
not require commands to be generated from outside of the servo amplifier. However, MR Configurator2 is required for
performing one-touch tuning using the amplifier command method.
Precautions
• When the following setting values are set in [Pr. PA08.0 Gain adjustment mode selection], [Pr. PB06 Load to motor inertia
ratio/load to motor mass ratio] is estimated at the start of one-touch tuning.
"0" (2 gain adjustment mode 1 (interpolation mode))
"1" (auto tuning mode 1)
"2" (auto tuning mode 2)
"4" (2 gain adjustment mode 2)
"6" (load to motor inertia ratio monitor mode)
Restrictions on one-touch tuning
One-touch tuning cannot be performed in the following cases.
Common restrictions on user command method and amplifier command method
• When [Pr. PA21.0 One-touch tuning function selection] is "0" (disabled)
• In the torque mode
• In the continuous operation to torque control mode
• When an alarm or a warning which disrupts the motor driving occurs
• In output signal (DO) forced output and motor-less operation
Restrictions on user command method
• One-touch tuning using the user command method cannot be performed at servo-off.
Restrictions on amplifier command method
• One-touch tuning using the amplifier command method cannot be started while the servo motor is driven.
• One-touch tuning using the amplifier command method cannot be performed when the positioning operation, JOG
operation, program operation, and test operation mode of machine analyzer function are being carried out.
