4224

Movement smaller than one encoder increment

Beckhoff · TwinCAT 2 NC

What does 4224 mean?

The commanded distance for a group or axis to move is infinitesimally small, less than the physical resolution of one encoder increment or the axis's scaling factor. Although the system reports the axis as logically finished without active movement, this can indicate a precision issue in programming or an attempt to command motion below the system's physical capability.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

  1. 3

    Adjust the motion profile or programming to avoid requesting movements that are effectively zero.

  2. 4

    Consider if the application truly requires such fine resolution; if so, evaluate if the encoder and scaling are appropriate.
