−
TANDEM (#6) 1: Enables tandem control. (Set this parameter for the main- and sub-
axes.)
− −
Number of CNC controlled axes (for Series 16 only)
1010
−
As with the PMC axis, specify a number obtained by subtracting the
number of tandem sub-axes from the number of controlled axes.
If an invalid-parameter alarm is issued, check whether the value set in
this parameter is correct.
1021
−
Parallel-axis name (for Series 15 only)
− −
Specify 77 and 83 for the main axis and sub-axis, respectively.
1023
−
Servo axis arrangement
1023
−
This parameter specifies servo axis arrangement.
Set an odd number for a main axis, and the subsequent even number for
the sub-axis.
If 3 is set for a main axis, for example, set 4 for the sub-axis.
Example of tandem axis setting
(1) For Series 16 ( indicates a tandem axis.)
Number of controlled axes = 6
Number of CNC-controlled axes (No. 1010) = 3
