[2] Precautions during control
(1) The feed command of the backlash compensation amount are not added to
the "[Md.20] Current feed value" or "[Md.21] Machine feed value".
(2) Always carry out a machine OPR before starting the control when using the
backlash compensation function (when "[Pr.11] Backlash compensation
amount" is set). The backlash in the mechanical system cannot be correctly
compensated if a machine OPR is not carried out.
(3) Backlash compensation, which includes the movement amount and "[Pr.11]
Backlash compensation amount", is output the moment at the moving
direction changes.
(4) Backlash compensation cannot be made during the speed control mode,
torque control mode or continuous operation to torque control mode.
[3] Setting the backlash compensation function
To use the "backlash compensation function", set the "backlash compensation
amount" in the parameter shown in the following table, and write it to the Simple
Motion module.
The set details are validated at the rising edge (OFF
ON) of the PLC READY
signal [Y0].

REMARK
Parameters are set for each axis.
It is recommended that the parameters be set whenever possible with GX Works2.
Execution by sequence program uses many sequence programs and devices. The
execution becomes complicated, and the scan times will increase.
