DE (Dual (Auxiliary) Encoder)
[Motion]
DESCRIPTION:
The DE command defines the position of the auxiliary encoder.
ARGUMENTS: DE x, y, z, w or DEX=x or DE a, b, c, d where
x, y z, w, or a, b, c, d are signed integers
USAGE:
OPERAND USAGE:
_DEn returns the current position of the specified auxiliary encoder where n is an axis letter.
EXAMPLES:
HINT: Dual encoders are useful when you need an encoder on the motor and on the load. The encoder on the load is
typically the auxiliary encoder and is used to verify the true load position. Any error in load position is used to
correct the motor position.
