Configuring Your 1394 Analog Servo System 8-11
[Droop]
This parameter is also referred to as "static gain." 
It effectively acts as a very slow discharge of the 
velocity loop integrator and has two uses:
•
As a component of an external position loop 
system, setting this parameter to a higher, non-
zero value will eliminate servo hunting due to 
load stick/slip friction effects.
•
As a deliberate "velocity droop" (secondary 
drives only) in multiple-motor systems where 
each drive axis is configured as a velocity loop 
and the motors are mechanically coupled 
together. Use of higher non-zero droop in this 
case promotes load sharing.This parameter 
selects the torque command source within the 
drive. When operating the drive in velocity 
mode, set to Velocity Mode 1 (#0). When 
operating in torque mode (using S Class), set 
to A/D Torque Block (#4).
This parameter selects the torque command 
source within the drive. When operating the drive 
in velocity mode, set to Velocity Mode 1 (#0). 
When operating in torque mode (using S Class), 
set to A/D Torque Block (#4).
The droop scaling is defined as that specified 
droop in output rpm (i.e., velocity error) that will 
result in 100% rated torque being applied by the 
motor in reaction. This parameter only has effect 
if [Intg Gain Ki] is not zero.
For Example: Speed regulation of 0 to 0.05% 
maximum depending on optimization of system 
performance settings. 3000 rpm, 0.05% = 1.5 
rpm tolerance.
