Item Description
Position The current motor position in Axis units
Position Error The current deviation from the expected position in Axis units
Target Position Final stopped position for the current positioning command in Encoder counts
Speed The current speed in Axis units per second
Speed Error The current deviation from the expected speed in Axis units per second
Target Speed The expected speed for the current command Axis units per second
Torque The current torque being applied to the rotor in Profile defined units
Torque Error The current deviation in the expected applied torque in Profile defined units
Target Torque The expected torque value for the current command in Profile defined units
Command The numerical code for the type of command currently being executed
  0 = No Command
  1 = Speed Command (no positioning)
  2 = Positioning Command
Overload Factor Floating point value between 0 and 1 indicating the current status of the I2t calculation. When this value reaches 1, the motor will be limited to its rated current. After reaching 1, this value has to fall below 0.5 before the motor will be allowed to draw peak current
Buffer Integer value indicating the number of commands currently in the command queue.
