S Superimposing move commands for an axis in one path on an axis in
the other path

Machining is performed by a path 2 program.
An axis in one path can be synchronized with another axis in the same path
or an axis in another path. This is done by issuing the same move
commands for one axis (synchronous master axis) to another axis
(synchronous slave axis). Using parameter SMRx (bit 0 of parameter No.
8162) can cause the slave axis to move in the direction opposite to that
of the master axis. It is possible to place either the master or slave axis
in a parking state. The term parking
here means to discontinue giving
move commands to a servo system. No coordinates are updated in the
parking state. Note however that absolute and relative coordinates can be
updated using parameter PKUx (bit 2 of parameter No. 8162).
