Abstract
A means for an servo controller to use predetermined and stored parameters of the servo components to perform tuning of the servo system is disclosed. The present invention relates to tuning, compensating, returning or recompensating a servo system given the pertinent parameters of the servo components such as the motor, the load and the feedback sensor. The method is ideal for galvanometers and servo motors when the implementation includes incorporation of a memory device into the motor to store the motor constants.
