DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The MDB command enables the Trajectory Overshoot Braking (TOB) option.
This command should be used to enable TOB after using the MDT or MDE commands. Note the
following:
l
This option reverts to off when one of these commutation mode commands are used.
l
This option is off by default. Status Word 6, Bit 9 indicates if this mode is active.
NOTE: MDE, MDS and MDC require angle match before they will take effect. This
means the SmartMotor's factory calibration is valid and the index mark of the
internal encoder has been seen after startup. The default commutation mode for
D-style motors is MDT (see MDT on page 546); the default commutation mode for
M-style motors is MDC (see MDC on page 536).
