5.10: Velocity Loop 
Initial velocity loop proportional gain (Vp) and velocity loop integral gain (Vi) values were calculated in 
a previous step. 
5.10.1: Velocity Loop Settings 
For more information, see Velocity Mode and Velocity Loop (p. 12).
5.10.1.1  Click V Loop. 
5.10.1.2  Change/verify Velocity Loop parameters as needed. 
Parameter Description 
Velocity Limit  Top speed limit. Max value may depend upon the back EMF & the Encoder value. Min 
value: 0. 
Acceleration Limit  Maximum acceleration rate. Max value may depend upon load, inertia, & peak current. 
Min value: 1. (Does not apply in position mode.) 
Deceleration Limit  Maximum deceleration rate. Max value may depend upon load, inertia, & peak current. 
Min value: 1. (Does not apply in position mode.) 
Tracking Window 
Tracking Time 
See Tracking Window Details (p. 30).
Vp  Velocity loop proportional gain. Range: 0 to 32,767. 
Vi  Velocity loop integral gain. Range: 0 to 32,767. 
Fast Stop Ramp  Deceleration rate used by the velocity loop when the amplifier is hardware disabled. 
Range: 0 to 100,000,000. Default: velocity loop Decel. Limit value. 
For more information, see Velocity Loop Limits (p. 12).
Enable Gains Scalar  Increases the resolution of the units used to express Vp and Vi, providing more precise 
tuning. For more information, see Velocity Loop Gains Scalar (p. 13).
Vi Drain (integral 
bleed) 
Vi drain modifies the effect of velocity loop integral gain. The higher the Vi Drain value, 
the faster the integral sum is lowered. Range: 0 to 32,000. Default: 0. 
Command Filter  Programmable command input filter. Disabled by default. For more information on the 
velocity loop filters, see the CME 2 User’s Guide.
Output Filter  Programmable output filter. Default filter type: Low-Pass, 2-pole Butterworth (Cut Off 
Frequency 200 Hz). For more information on the velocity loop filters, see the CME 2 
User Guide.
