4.DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS B-64120EN/01
- 362 -
NOTE
For an axis for which 0 is set, the first axis serves
as the master axis. So, when the control signal for
the axis is set to 1, the first axis serves as a master
axis, and synchronous control is exercised.
<For the M series>
[Valid data range] 0, 1 to Number of controlled axes
Select a master axis and slave axis in simple synchronous control. Set
a master axis number with the slave axis side. The axis number
settings are: 1 → First axis, 2 → Second axis, 3 → Third axis, 4 →
Fourth axis. Up to four pairs can be specified.
Example1:
Simple synchronous control is exercised with one pair.
When using the first axis (X-axis) as the master axis, and the
third axis (Z-axis) as the slave axis, set parameter No.8311 as
follows:
Parameter No. 8311 X (first axis) = 0
Y (second axis) = 0
Z (third axis) = 1
A (fourth axis) = 0
Example2:
Simple synchronous control is exercised with two pairs.
Assume that the following two pairs are to be used:
The master axis is the first axis, while a slave axis is the fourth
axis.
The master axis is the second axis, while a slave axis is the third
axis.
For this specification, set this parameter as follows:
Parameter No.8311 X (First axis) = 0
Y (Second axis) = 0
Z (Third axis) = 2
(Fourth axis) = 1
NOTE
The axis number of a master axis must always be
smaller than the corresponding slave axis number.
Multiple slave axes cannot be assigned to a master
axis.
Enabling/disabling mirror image in synchronous control
8312
[Data type] Byte axis
[Valid data range] -127 to +128
This parameter sets the mirror image function. When 100 or a greater
value is set with this parameter, the mirror image function is applied to
synchronous control. Set this parameter to the slave axis.
