(3) Disturbance observer
The disturbance observer can reduce the effect caused by disturbance, frictional resistance or
torsion vibration during cutting by estimating the disturbance torque and compensating it. It also is
effective in suppressing the vibration caused by speed leading compensation control.
<Setting method>
<1> Adjust VGN1 to the value where vibration does not occur, and then lower it 10 to 20%.
<2> Set the load inertia scale (SV037 (JL)) with a percentage in respect to the motor inertia of the
total load inertia.
<3> Set the observer filter band (observer pole) in the disturbance observer 1 (SV043 (OBS1)), and
estimate the high frequency disturbance to suppress the vibration. Set "100" as a standard.
<4> Set the observer gain in disturbance observer 2 (SV044 (OBS2)). The disturbance observer
will function here for the first time. Set 100 first, and if vibration does not occur, increase the
setting by 50 at a time to increase the observer effect.
<Measuring the load inertia>
If the load inertia is not clear, it can be estimated with the following method.
<1> Set the torque offset (SV032 (TOF)) for the unbalance axis. (Refer to "9-3-4 (2) Unbalance
torque compensation".)
<2> Set JL = 100, OBS1 = 600 and OBS2 =0, and reciprocate the axis within the range that it can
be moved smoothly. Set the acceleration/deceleration time constant so that the acceleration/
deceleration torque is larger than the stall (rated) torque (100% or more).
<3> Measure the estimated disturbance torque with the D/A output, and raise JL until the
disturbance torque during acceleration/deceleration is small (until it cannot be observed). Even
when the torque offset is set and JL is an appropriate value, if the axis has a large friction, the
frictional torque will remain in the estimated disturbance torque. Judge the JL setting value,
with frictional torque remaining, as the machine's load inertia scale as shown below.

POINT
1. The estimated disturbance torque can be output to the D/A output even if the
disturbance observer gain is zero (OBS2 = 0), and the disturbance observer
is not functioning.
2. Sections at which the machine is not moving smoothly are estimated as the
disturbance.
3. The lost motion compensation must be readjusted when the disturbance
observer is started.
