Remarks

  • Allows the trigger block to calculate the exact moment at which a signal was triggered by the specified compensation.
  • The delay compensation should include drive processing time, sensor delay, and the communication latency through the EtherCAT network.
  • Electronic sensors are not able to respond immediately to a signal.
  • Sensors usually require a certain amount of time to process a change of state in their input signal.
