Um no, you dont. I was giving advice on how to tune a voltage mode loop, Your advice does not apply in this context. Its very clear that you have not actually tuned a voltage mode loop. D is absolutely needed for stability, A voltage mode drive with velocity feed forward approximates a torque mode loop (a second order system). Without a D term the solution to this system function is a sine wave. Peter Wallace Mesa Electronics (\__/) (='.'=) This is Bunny.
