I am using a MDC2460 controller in closed loop position relative mode with a hal sensor on AIN2. I want my script:

while true
currentpos = getvalue(_AIC, 2)
print( "desiredAnalog", desiredAnalog, "\n")
print("current position ", currentpos, "\n")
' wait(50)
if ((currentpos >= (desiredAnalog + 10) or currentpos <= desiredAnalog -10)) then
print("setting position \n")
setcommand(_G, 1, desiredAnalog)
wait(100)
end if
end while
to position the motor at desiriedAnalog, in this case 450. what I get is no movement although I the values from the print say I should;
desired position 450, current position -447.

I this mode shouldn't the setcommand(_G, 1, desiredAnalog) tell the motor to go to position 450?

Hello david,

You need to connect the analog input as feedback. If you do that, then it will be easy to do without any scripiting.
