There is a delay when using an external encoder. The delay is five cycles (2 cycles to read the encoder from the AKD via EtherCATEtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs, 1 cycle for computing, 2 cycles for sending the new position set point to the AKD). This lag error is speed proportional (5 cycles * speed). A Phaser block can be used to compensate for this lag.
When executing, the phaser block is in one of three states: Standby, Changing phase, or Applying phase.
| Standby | Entered when the Block is initialized. Exits to the State "Changing Phase" when the Phase value is changed via the MLPhaWritePhase command |
| Changing Phase | Entered when a new value is programmed, and exits to "Applying phase" state when the programmed phase offset is reached. The current Phase offset value is slewed to the new phase offset by the amount of the slew value. |
| Applying Phase | Entered when the programmed Phase value is reached. Exits to the Changing phase state whenever a new value is programmed via the MLPhaWritePhase function changes the Phase Offset target. |
You can call MLPhaWritePhase function to modify the Phase value..
You can call MLPhaWriteSlope to modify the rate of change of phase, or slope, applied when the Phase value is changed.
