Movement smaller than one encoder increment

What does 4224 mean?

The commanded distance for a group or axis to move is infinitesimally small, less than the physical resolution of one encoder increment or the axis's scaling factor. Although the system reports the axis as logically finished without active movement, this can indicate a precision issue in programming or an attempt to command motion below the system's physical capability.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

1. 1

   Review the commanded movement distance in the motion program or PLC logic.

2. 2

   Ensure that all commanded distances are greater than the axis's scaling factor or the physical significance of one encoder increment.

3. 3

   Adjust the motion profile or programming to avoid requesting movements that are effectively zero.

4. 4

   Consider if the application truly requires such fine resolution; if so, evaluate if the encoder and scaling are appropriate.
