Master-axis travel Slave-axis travel
Specify the master-axis travel in either of the following ways.
1. Master-axis speed
T t : Master-axis speed (1 ≤ t ≤ 1000)
2. Master-axis pulse count
P p : Master-axis pulse count (1 ≤ p ≤ 999999999)
Specify a pulse count on the condition that four pulses correspond to one period in
the A and B phases.
Specify the slave-axis travel in either of the following ways.
1. Slave-axis travel
β : Slave-axis address
j : Slave-axis travel indicated in units of the minimum travel increments
(the range of valid settings for usual axis movement applies)
When j = 0, the specified command is regarded as being a command for the
slave-axis speed, described below. In this case, if L is not specified, an alarm is
output.
2. Slave-axis speed
β 0 L±l : β: Slave-axis address
l : Slave axis speed (1 ≤ l ≤ 21)
CAUTION
1 A move command can be issued by a program to the slave axis or
other axes during synchronization. In this case, the command shall
be an incremental command.
2 A G00, G27, G28, G29, G30, G30.1,G33 or G53 command cannot
be issued to the slave axis in synchronization mode.
3 Controlled-axis detach cannot be used for the master axis or the
slave axis.
NOTE
1 A manual handle interruption can be issued to the slave axis or
other axes during synchronization.
2 The maximum feedrates for the master axis and the slave axis are
limited according to the position detectors used.
3 An inch/metric conversion command (G20 or G21) cannot be
specified in synchronization mode.
4 The machine coordinates for the slave/dummy axis are updated in
synchronization mode.
