7344 PID proportional gain = 1 but actuator still unstable.
Hi LabView Gurus,
Problem: With the 7344 PID P gain set to 1 (I & D to zero), I cant get correct performance from my Dynaserv servo drive using encoder feedback.
I'm driving a Dynaserv (ActuatorM1075B60 ControllerD1075B02) in torque mode with an NI PCI7344. All is working Ok, except that with a proportional gain of 1 the system is close to oscillation and overshoots when doing step velocity changes or position moves. It appears that the system requires a gain of less than 1 (with a gain of 3 or greater the actuator becomes unstable)
The controller is working in absolute position mode with encoder feedback. The Dynaserv encoder provides 425984 counts per revolution - which is much lager than I've seen before. I normally work with encoders that provide 2000 counts/rev and these work well with a wide range of PID params usable depending on the mechanical set-up.
I require the Dynaserv to operate at anywhere from zero to greater than one rotation per second with accurate step changes in velocity and position with less than 0.1 degrees or 100 counts of overshoot. I can't achieve this even with a gain of one currently. It would appear that the encoder is simply providing too many counts.
I've tried limiting the 7344's output both in software and using a voltage divider on the output, but this doesn't solve the problem - I can't reach full torque as the output is reduced. I've also looked into gearing and other settings on the 7344 but can't see anything helpful. Note also i have the Dynaserve controllers gain at the minimum setting also.
Any ideas? Your thoughts would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Shane.
Shane,
I agree with your assumption, that the issue is caused by the high resolution of the encoder. If you increase the encoder resolution, this has exactly the same effect as increasing Kp.
So compared to a standard 2000 counts/rev encoder, your encoder scales Kp with a factor of about 213. As the 73xx boards run the PID loop on a DSP without floating point unit, this encoder eats up all the headroom for your Kp value.
From a functional point of view, such a high resolution encoder rarely makes sense, as all the mechanical positioning errors of your system are typically much higher than the resolution of the encoder, so it doesn't add real accuracy to your system. In fact it may even add more issues if you want to run the motor at higher velocities, as thie means very high frequencies that need to pass the encoder cable. The 7344 supports up to 20 MHz encoder input signals, but at these frequencies cable damping and noise can become serious problems.
So if possible I recommend to exchange the encoder with a lower resolution version. By the way, is this a real quadrature encoder or are you using an emulated encoder signal, that is generated by your drive (typical setup for BLDC motors). In this case you may be able to reduce the resolution in the drive's configuration.
Kind regards,

I deleted a contact, but they still show up in my text options to send. I would like to delete the contact from my texts too.
No don't restore your iphone. I've done that several times & it has never worked. -I still have deleted contacts in my iphone texts. *However if you do restore it you will not lose all your data, pics, text messages etc if you backup in iCloud. It restores back to original phone. Very nice :). Anyhowwww....
I JUST figured it out!! :))). Remove the contact from recents.
Start a text. You should see the deleted contact. All the way to the right of the name is a symbol. The symbol is a circle with "i" in the middle. Click that symbol then in red lettering click "remove from recents". -
How can I block an e-mail address from sending me spam on my iPhone 5s? My ISP is unable to help. I can block on my laptop via Outlook, but they still come through on my iPhone 5s. Thank you very much.
You can "Move to Junk" and it should start doing it automatically after a few times:

iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?
Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

Hi,
Why isn't episode 5 of Rizzoli&Isles available on iTunes Store yet ? It's usually available the day after it's aired. Ep 5 was aired tuesday 23rd, but is still not possible to watch in iTunes..

I am having trouble removing songs from my iPhone. i have unchecked songs in the library on my mac, but they still show up on phone after syncing. how do I remove them?
Hi asims01,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
Deleting songs downloaded to your device
Tap the Music app.
Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone. Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

I hope this information helps ....

I deleted some videos from camera roll but they still appear in the videos folder
I removed some videos from my 4s to my computer but they still appear in a file called videos on my phone. The file Videos doesn't show up on my computer when I plug my phone in to the USB. How can I see this file on my computer when my phone is plugged in?
The "Photos section" within the Photos app is just a view of your Photo Stream, organized by dates and locations. You can see the exact same content by looking at "My Photo Stream" within the Albums section of the Photos app.
So, deleting things from Camera Roll will have no effect on Photo Stream nor the "Photos" section of the app, except for pictures in Camera Roll which may not have been uploaded to Photo Stream yet. -
How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear. Help please!
As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message. -
Ive deleted contacts from my contacts list but they still pop up when i go to text and type in the name of a current contact. . How can i delete them off my phones memory for good? iPhone 4S
At the present time, the only way to clear that is to restore the phone as new. Perhaps a future iOS update will give us the option to clear that cache.

I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) with iTunes but the messages are still there. How can I get rid of these texts for good and have more space on my phone? 6.33 gb of other space is way too much, thats almost half of my overall available space (13.5 gb.) I don't want to reset my phone and lose all my other texts/ app progress/ photos. I do have backups, but when I restore from the backup the other space comes back along with everything else. What can I do to get rid of this other space and the 'deleted' text messages? (I'm running iOS 6.1.3 if that helps)
But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync. -

my usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility
Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.
