Servo Parameters
Chapter 7
7-85
Effective Inertia -- This includes the rotary inertia of all items being driven
by the servo (such as gears and ball screws) and the effective inertia of the
table, turret or other mechanical entity. Part mass should be considered if
it is expected to be significant. Also any mechanical advantage given to
the servo by motor gearing etc. should be factored into the calculations.
Effective Inertia should typically be in units of in.-lb-sec
2
/ rad or
Newton-meter-sec
2
/ rad.

Notes
This parameter must be set independently for each servo.
This parameter represents the maximum acceleration of the servo resulting
from peak current for the motor/amplifier being used. It must be much
larger than the Acc/Dec Ramp, often several times larger.
