| − | In modern motor drives it's possible to define the permissible maximum value of tracking error which is allowed before drive enters in a fault state and stops. Tracking fault is useful for protecting the machine or users from damage if something is preventing mechanism from moving. In [[Granity]] this value is entered in {{param|FPT}} and {{param|FVT}} parameters. | + | In modern motor drives it's possible to define the permissible maximum value of tracking error which is allowed before drive enters in a fault state and stops.
