Example: Friction Correction
The following example illustrates how the SPM mode can be useful in correcting for X axis friction after each move
when conducting a reciprocating motion. The drive is a 1/64th microstepping drive with a 1.8
o
step motor and
4000 count/rev encoder.

Dual Loop (Auxiliary Encoder)
The DMC-40x0 provides an interface for a second encoder for each axis except for axes configured for stepper
motor operation and axis used in circular compare. When used, the second encoder is typically mounted on the
motor or the load, but may be mounted in any position. The most common use for the second encoder is backlash
compensation, described below.
The second encoder may be a standard quadrature type, or it may provide pulse and direction. The controller also
offers the provision for inverting the direction of the encoder rotation. The main and the auxiliary encoders are
configured with the CE command. The command form is CE x,y,z,w (or a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h for controllers with more than
4 axes) where the parameters x,y,z,w each equal the sum of two integers m and n. m configures the main encoder
and n configures the auxiliary encoder.
