Does PMAC allow for Backlash Compensation?
PMAC can perform sophisticated backlash compensation for all motors. On direction reversal of commanded velocity, a pre-programmed backlash distance is added to or subtracted from the commanded position. This backlash distance can be constant over the travel of the motor, or it can be a function of motor position. The rate at which the backlash is introduced or removed is programmable, as is the magnitude of the reversal required for backlash to be introduced or removed.
