Range Error When Commanding Long Moves - Distance Limit 2^31

Range Error When Commanding Long Moves - Distance Limit 2^31

Users cannot command a single distance move that crosses 2^31 (2,147,483,648)  the rollover point.

 

Two potential work arounds:

You can command a JOG FWD or JOG REV (continuous moves) across that threshold and then monitor the position register.

 

Or, you can however get around this with commanding it as 2 different moves without stopping.

So if you wanted to do 1000 incremental move and the PPU was large (such as a motor with high resolution absolute encoder and/or with high gear ratio):
