Description

The Actual Position (Control) value is the position feedback with the control filter applied. This value is used by the control algorithm. The value may be filtered again by the display filter, and the final filtered value is given by the Actual Position status register.

The Actual Position (Control) value is valuable for detailed troubleshooting because it shows the exact value that the control-algorithm is operating on, whereas the commonly used Actual Position may be filtered and therefore differ slightly from the Actual Velocity (Control) value.

See Actual Position and Filtering topics for more details.
