Stepper Position Maintenance Mode (SPM)
The Galil controller can be set into the Stepper Position Maintenance (SPM) mode to handle the event of stepper
motor position error. The mode looks at position feedback from the main encoder and compares it to the
commanded step pulses. The position information is used to determine if there is any significant difference
between the commanded and the actual motor positions. If such error is detected, it is updated into a command
value for operator use. In addition, the SPM mode can be used as a method to correct for friction at the end of a
microstepping move. This capability provides closed-loop control at the application program level. SPM mode can
be used with Galil and non-Galil step drives.
SPM mode is configured, executed, and managed with seven commands. This mode also utilizes the #POSERR
automatic subroutine allowing for automatic user-defined handling of an error event.
Internal Controller Commands (user can query):
QS Error Magnitude (pulses)
User Configurable Commands (user can query & change):
OE Profiler Off-On Error
YA Step Drive Resolution (pulses / full motor step)
YB Step Motor Resolution (full motor steps / revolution)
YC Encoder Resolution (counts / revolution)
YR Error Correction (pulses)
YS Stepper Position Maintenance enable, status
A pulse is defined by the resolution of the step drive being used. Therefore, one pulse could be a full step, a half
step or a microstep.
When a Galil controller is configured for step motor operation, the step pulse output by the controller is internally
fed back to the auxiliary encoder register. For SPM the feedback encoder on the stepper will connect to the main
encoder port. Enabling the SPM mode on a controller with YS=1 executes an internal monitoring of the auxiliary
and main encoder registers for that axis or axes. Position error is then tracked in step pulses between these two
registers (QS command).

Where TD is the auxiliary encoder register(step pulses) and TP is the main encoder register(feedback encoder).
Additionally, YA defines the step drive resolution where YA = 1 for full stepping or YA = 2 for half stepping. The full
range of YA is up to YA = 9999 for microstepping drives.
