What does "Slow Motor Response" mean?

Hello,
What does Slow Motor Response mean in layman's terms? Can someone provide a basic explanation or definition of a Slow Motor Response message and its possible causes. Thank you!

You can take this alarm literally. Motor Slow Response simply means that the motor is not responding to the command signal fast enough. This can generally be solved with motor tuning...

Get out your scope... If you look at you waveform as the motor makes its move, you'll see it approach its destination very cautiously. The motor will have to be tuned to be more aggressive. Consult your manuals for tuning procedure and get to it!
