Re: Motor Record 6-5-2 backlash issue?

[Kurt Goetze <goetze@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Márcio,

That is the correct behavior.  Backlash is two moves, in either direction.

In one direction the target is /approached/ in a second move by the distance
set in BDST.  In the other direction, the target position is "overshot" by BDST,
and then moved back to the target.  In either direction the second move is
done with BACC and BVEL.  The idea is you can change BACC and BVEL
for this second move to be less than ACCL and VELO, thus keeping the
drive screw in contact with the stage, in a controlled way to maintain position.

In the first case you cite, your positive movement /looks/ to have no backlash
because BACC=ACCL and BVEL=VELO, making the two moves look to be one.

HTH,
Kurt

    When BACC = ACCL and BVEL = VELO and BDST > 0, I see the movement as I expect: for positive movements, no backlash correction; for negative movements a backlash correction.

 

    But when BACC != ACCL or BVEL != VELO and BDST > 0, something different happens: for positive movements the motor stops before the target and moves again by BDST to hit the target.

 

    Is this the correct behavior?
