% Excess Following Error
The % excess following error parameter is a 2-digit BCD number that the
1771-ES expander interprets as a percentage above the following error
allowed at the rapid traverse rate. Programmable excess following error
values can thus range from 0 through 99. Program the most significant
digit in bits 14 through 17 of the first word, and the least significant digits
in bits 14 through 17 of the second word (Figure 7.21).
This parameter specifies maximum allowable axis following error. When
the following error reaches the maximum value permitted as specified by
the % excess following error parameter, the servo positioning assembly
stops axis motion by commanding immediate stop (Figure 7.16).
