Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Folks,

 

I have been using the Galil DMC-4183 controllers for stepper motors, both with pulse/direction outputs and on-board amplifiers.

 

I now am setting up my first servo system with on-board amplifiers and quadrature encoders.   I have a question about the best way to configure and save the PID parameters.  Do people generally using the motor record to configure KP, KI, and KD, or do you use the Galil GDK to configure those and then just save in the non-volatile memory on the controller?

 

I did not find any discussion of this in the EPICS Galil documentation.

 

Thanks,

Mark
