1. AXIS CONTROL
111
NOTE
1 More than one axis can be placed in synchronous state at
the same time. However, an axis cannot be synchronized
with more than one axis simultaneously.
2 Synchronous control and simplified synchronous control
cannot be specified simultaneously.
Function During synchronous control
Acceleration/deceleration control The same type of acceleration/decelera-
tion control is performed for the synchro-
nous axes, but different time constants are
used.
Linear acceleration/deceleration
after cutting feed interpolation
Not carried out for any axes during synchro-
nous control.
Feedrate clamping The axes are clamped at the feedrate of the
master axis.
Reference position return A reference position return is possible for
the master axis unless it is in a parking
state. In a parking state,only automatic ref-
erence position return (G28) is possible for
the master axis (*1).
Reference position return check Possible (*2)
PMC axis c ontrol Possible for other than synchronous slave
axes.
Polar coordinate interpolation and
cylindrical interpolation
Possible
Handle interrupt Performed regardless of synchronous con-
trol
Axial mirror image Each signal originally belonging to a partic-
ular axis is effective for that axis.
Machine loc k Each signal originally belonging to a partic-
ular axis is effective for that axis.
Interlock The signals for the master axis are effectiv e
for the slave axes.
Override The signals for the master axis are effective
for the slave axes.
External deceleration The signals for the master axis are effective
for the slave axes.
Skip function Ineffective for slave axes.
Automatic tool compensation Ineffective for slave axes.
Tool setter Ineffective for slave axes.
Follow--up Impossible during synchronous control.
Program restart Impossible for a program involving syn-
chronous control.
Cs axis Synchronous control is impossible.
Restrictions imposed
during synchronous
control
