I set up a Powerflex 525 drive to follow a signal from a master conveyor's encoder. The follower motor has an encoder wired back to the 525 encoder card.
Speed reference is set to Pulse, Feedback is set to Quad Check, Pulse Scaling and PPR values are set to match. Accel/Decel set to .1, basically followed the documentation on the knowledgebase to get a master/follower set up.
The follower starts and stops with the master conveyor belt and does follow the speed properly, but the response/reaction to the changes in speed of the master conveyor is way too slow.
Is this normal for the setup, are there other parameters that need adjusting, or should I be trying to set this up differently (PID maybe)?
