Parameters

Backlash compensation parameters are specified using the BacklashCompensationData class.

Parameter

Description

Offset Direction

If 1, positive backlash compensation is applied. If -1, negative backlash compensation is applied.

Backlash High

The maximum backlash compensation offset, in user units.

This value must be greater than or equal to 0, and greater than or equal to Backlash Low.

Backlash Low

The minimum backlash compensation offset, in user units.

This value must be greater than or equal to 0. If this value is equal to Backlash High, the backlash offset will only be affected by whether the axis is traveling in the positive direction or the negative direction, and the distance parameters will have no effect. If this value is equal to 0, the backlash offset will only be affected by the distance from the reference position, and will be the same whether the axis is traveling in the positive direction or the negative direction.

Distance High

The distance from the reference position above which the maximum backlash compensation is applied, in user units.

This value must be greater than or equal to 0, and greater than or equal to Distance Low.

Distance Low

The distance from the reference position below which the minimum backlash compensation offset is applied, in user units.

The backlash compensation offset increases linearly from Backlash Low to Backlash High between Distance Low and Distance High from the reference position.
