MC-Basic:axis.PositionBacklash
Adds a position backlash value to the pcmd value. The value will be added in positive direction of the movement (<axis>.vcmd > 0) while in opposite direction the value multiplied by -1 will be used. In stand-still situation (vcmd = 0) the previous value of the backlash is used.
Changes between positive and negative applied backlash value will be smoothen by a simple alpha-filter : Axystems:MC-Basic:axis.PositionBacklashAlpha.
According to:
P = P*Alpha + sign*PositionBacklash*(1-Alpha)
where sign = -1 on vcmd <0 else equals 1.
 | IMPORTANT |
| The backlash position value is not compensated in the position feedback. Therefore applying position backlash to a certain non-zero value will result in having the same opposite value in PE (position error) it will look like PE is never closed. |
 | WARNING |
| Be cautious. The feature is not tested well enough. |
