The measure of a load's resistance to changes in velocity or speed. It is a function of the load's mass and shape.
|
The difference in the absolute position of the load for a commanded input when motion is from opposite directions.
|
The difference between the actual result of an input command and the ideal or theoretical result.
|
The instantaneous difference between the actual position as reported by the position feedback loop and the ideal position, as commanded by the controller.
|
The difference between the actual and commanded position after all corrections have been applied by the controller.
|
The maximum magnitude of an input that produces no measurable output when the direction of motion is reversed.
|
The maximum expected difference between the actual and the intended position of an object or load for a given input.
|
The motion control system output compared with the commanded input.
|
The change in velocity per unit time.
|
overshoot
| the amount of overcorrection in an underdamped control system.
|
play
| the uncontrolled movement due to the looseness of mechanical parts.
|
repeatability
| the ability of a motion control system to return repeatedly to the commanded position. It is influenced by the presence of backlash and hysteresis.
|
resolution
| the smallest position increment that the motion control system can detect.
|
runout
| the deviation between ideal linear (straight-line) motion and the actual measured motion.
|
sensitivity
| the minimum input capable of producing output motion. It is also the ratio of the output motion to the input drive
|
settling time
| the time elapsed between the entry of a command to a system and the instant the system first reaches the commanded position and maintains that position within the specified error value.
|
velocity
| the change in distance per unit time.
