Introduction
This article demonstrates the use of compensation tables for eliminating position backlash .
Program
First, define two compensation tables each one for opposite directions:
common shared compAxAPlus as comp common shared compAxAMinus as comp
attach the axis, go to an initial position (-100):
Attach AxA Move A1 -100
Define the number of points in each table (10):
CreateComp compAxAPlus 10 CreateComp compAxAMinus 10
Both are active between -100 and +100:
CreateComp compAxAPlus 10 CreateComp compAxAMinus 10
Set the both tables acting on same axis(AxA):
CompSet compAxAPlus AxA On AxA CompSet compAxAMinus AxA On AxA
Checking the actual compensation value from terminal should return 0 as no motion has been done:
compAxAPlus.MinPosition[1] = -100 compAxAPlus.MaxPosition[1] = +100 compAxAMinus.MinPosition[1] = -100 compAxAMinus.MaxPosition[1] = +100
Set the compensation values linearly between 0.1 for -100 and 1.0 for +100 for positive direction and -0.1 to -1.0 for negative direction:
for i = 1 to 10
compAxAPlus.TargetData[1][i] = 0.1*i
compAxAMinus.TargetData[1][i] = -0.1*i
next
Set direction of compensation activity, one table is only active in positive movement (vcmd > 0) direction the other is negative (vcmd <0):
compAxAPlus.direction = 1
compAxAMinus.direction = -1
Set both tables active, it means both will be active each one in different direction:
compAxAPlus.CompActive = 1
compAxAMinus.CompActive = 1
Start Motion:
AxA.PositionBacklashAlpha = 0.9
Sleep 100
Move AxA 99.9 Abs = 1 Vcruise = 10000
Delay AxA 100
Move AxA -99.9 Abs = 1 Vcruise = 10000
Delay AxA 100
Detach the axis:
Detach AxA End Program
