8.2.1.41 Contouring Error Limit
Upon starting a travel job, the ramp generator generates target position values in order to
reach the target position with the desired velocity profile (A-Pos, V-Pos, D-Pos).
Position regulation attempts to readjust the drive’s actual position and to keep the regulation
deviation as small as possible.
Disturbance variables such as load or friction can disable the drive’s following the position
values.
The control deviation (contouring error) will increase steadily. If the control deviation
exceeds the value of the contouring error limit, this will result in the contouring error fault.
The maximum admissible contouring error is indicated in steps.
