KINGSTAR Configuration Tool (formerly KINGSTAR Tuning Console) supplies a friendly user interface that allows you to use motion features to configure your KINGSTAR settings and automatically generate code for KINGSTAR parameters. It also provides a PID tuning interface that allows you to tweak various PID values in KINGSTAR, giving more flexibility to control your machine than solely relying on the PID the servo drive manufacturer provided. The console offers many settings for axes, ensure it is achieving the result you expect, and importantly, improve the productivity of your machine.
The following knowledge is required before you use KINGSTAR Configuration Tool:
- How PID works
- Your encoder's resolution
