Summary	A reply that is sent when the device stops at a position different from the requested location.

This message is received in one of the following scenarios:

• The device has stalled and stopped (Closed-loop mode 2-3)
• The stationary device is being forced out of position (Closed-loop mode 1-4)
• The stationary device is forced out of position and has recovered to its original location (Closed-loop mode 5)
