Language: English  • 中文(简体)‎

Adds a position backlash value to the PCMD value. The value will be added to the positive direction of the movement (<axis>.VCMD > 0), while in opposite direction the value multiplied by -1 is used. At a standstill (VCMD = 0), the previous value of the backlash is used.

Differences between positive and negative applied backlash values will be smoothed by a simple alpha-filter: PositionBacklashAlpha.

IMPORTANT.svgIMPORTANT
The backlash position value is not compensated in the position feedback. Therefore, applying position backlash to a non-zero value will result the same opposite value in the position error (PE). It will look like PE is never closed.
