Lag error

What does 42 mean?

The actual position or speed deviates significantly from the commanded value, potentially due to incorrect encoder connection, short acceleration ramps, a small P-component in the positioning controller, incorrect speed controller parameters, or an insufficient lag fault tolerance. This causes an immediate disconnection to prevent further uncontrolled movement.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

1. 1

   Check the encoder connection thoroughly for any wiring errors, shorts, or loose connections.

2. 2

   Extend acceleration/deceleration ramps to allow the motor to follow commands more smoothly and reduce lag.

3. 3

   Increase the P-component value of the positioning controller to improve responsiveness and reduce deviation.

4. 4

   Reset or re-tune speed controller parameters if they are incorrectly set or not optimized for the load.

5. 5

   Increase the lag fault tolerance value if minor deviations are acceptable for the application and do not pose a risk.
