4. DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS
343
<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
two 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 three pairs are to be used:
The master axis is the first axis, while a slave axis is the fouth 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
In Example 2 above, the Z axis, which is the master axis of
the M Series, is used as the slave axis of another axis. This
usage may prevent other functions from operating normally.
When exercising simple synchronous control with two pairs,
take care.
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.
8312
Enabling/disabling mirror image in synchronous control
[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.
