  • There is a delay when using an external encoder.
    The delay is five cycles:
         2 cycles to read the encoder from the AKD via EtherCAT,
         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.
