NC Implementing the TwinCAT Backlash Compensation
Overview of the effect of the backlash compensation differentiating by type of backlash and reference position (left or right edge):
- Positive backlash: Drive resp. external encoder has no backlash – backlash value is positive.
- Negative backlash: Additional external encoder has a backlash – backlash value is negative.
