PL.FB

Description

PL.FB returns the position feedback value.

Note that this value is not the pure feedback value read from the feedback deviceClosedA process whereby some proportion of the output signal of a system is passed (fed back) to the input. In automation, a device coupled to each motor to provide indication of the motor's shaft angle, for use in commutating the motor and controlling its speed and position, but also includes the value of the FB1.OFFSET and an internal offset set automatically by the FW when a homing switch is actuated.
