Since EMC's PID loop is now part of HAL and easily replaceable, I can envision a special PID loop that has multiple feedback inputs. Position feedback for the I term (long term position accuracy) would come from the scale. Position feedback for the P term and velocity feedback for the D term would come from the motor encoder.
