Move Status Settings

The following sections describe the Move Status Settings configuration options.

Following Error

Defines the following error trip point in counts. If the following error exceeds this value, the axis is automatically killed. Loading zero (0) is a special case that disables the following error trip functionality.

Velocity Threshold

When the velocity exceeds the threshold value, the Velocity Threshold status is True. Increasing the Filter Time reduces quantization noise in the threshold status but at the expense of increasing threshold status latency. Velocity threshold is typically used to monitor the acceleration and deceleration trajectory periods to see when or if an axis is up to speed.

Run/Stop Threshold

Defines the velocity threshold above which an axis is considered running. The run/stop threshold has units of counts/sample period for servo axes or steps/sample period for open-loop and closed-loop stepper axes and is affected by the PID Update Period. If the velocity of an axis is above the specified step/count per sample period, the run/stop status is true. If it is below the threshold, the run/stop status is false.
