- 46 -
- Superimposed Control
To the travel distance on an axis (slave axis) for which an ordinary
move command is executed, the travel distance on the axis (master
axis) of another path is added. Superimposed control resembles
synchronous control. In superimposed control, however, a movement
on the slave axis can be specified with a command for the path to
which the slave axis belongs.
The master axis and slave axis may belong to the same path, or the
master axis may belong to one axis and the slave axis may belong to
another. Moreover, multiple slave axes can be specified for one
master axis. By parameter setting, the move directions on the master
axis and slave axis can be reversed from each other.
Example)
A move command for the Z1 axis of path 1 is superimposed on
the travel distance on the Z2 axis of path 2.
