where ":3" is the motor address — use the actual address or a
variable
DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The EAcommand provides the current position error in real time. Position error is the
difference in encoder counts between the desired trajectory position and the measured
position. If the absolute value of EA exceeds the user value EL, the fault reaction is performed
and Be (Position Error) status bits will be set to 1, within that PID servo sample. When the
servo is off, EA reverts to zero because there is no longer a desired position.
NOTE: As acceleration (AC) is increased, a larger value of EL may be required. EL
is unsigned, but EA may be positive or negative.
EXAMPLE:
IF EA<1234 'test value of EA
'then do something
ENDIF
WHILE EA<1234 LOOP 'Loop while EA is less than 1234
'Then continue with program
