SYNAPTICON SOMANET Circulo 7 - Method

3.1.3.5.4.3 Method 2
Attention
This method is still in prototype phase and can be tested at the user’s own risk.
This algorithm has the following characteristics:
It needs no movement (no rotation)
If a brake is available, the brake should be engaged while offset detection method 2 is in progress.
Attention
If no brake is available and mechanical load is relatively small (compared to rated motor torque), then
offset detection method 2 can lead to rotor movement
It is not able to hold the load. As a result, when a brake is present, the brake will remain engaged
during the procedure of offset detection method 2.
It can take up to 250 milliseconds.
The precision of method 2 is not as high as methods 0 or 1.
Note
This method can cause audible noise when it’s executed.
