Talking Servos
Talking Servos is a series of multimedia presentations designed to help engineers connect with servo technology. Talking Servos combines narration, animated graphics, and video to discuss a wide range of practical issues in an intuitive format. Every unit of Talking Servos is packed with the kind of information servo engineers need to get their machines up and running quickly.

Tuning the SERVOSTAR 600 Velocity Loop
This unit discusses how to tune the SERVOSTAR® 600 velocity loop. It provides detailed instructions for configuring set-up screens. It discusses how to tune a system in ideal conditions, and how to deal with resolution and resonance issues. Included is a short experiment highlighting the capability of the Luenberger observer, an advanced servo technique that is implemented in this drive family.
Tuning Servo Systems
This series of Talking Servos is "Tuning Servo Systems." This 10-unit course covers real-world issues like tuning PI velocity loops and dealing with resonance and coarse feedback resolution. These presentations are in-depth. The entire series will run over four hours, providing a firm foundation in servo tuning for working engineers and designers. Currently the first six units are completed.
- Unit 1: Introduction to tuning
- Unit 2: The tuning process
- Unit 3: Dealing with coarse resolution
- Unit 4: Bode plots
- Unit 5: Mechanical resonance
- Unit 6: Tuning with low-frequency resonance
- Unit 7: Tuning with high-frequency resonance
- Unit 8: Tuning direct drive systems
- Unit 9: Tuning the position loop
- Unit 10: Tuning feed-forward gains
