3.2 Simple synchronous axis
The function is available for only FS16i/18i/21i-MB,18i-MB5.
When the function is applied for simple synchronous axis, the following condition should
be kept.
(1) Linear scale with distance-coded reference marks (serial) with the same reference
marks at intervals should be applied for the master axis and the slave axis. The
mixture of linear-motor system and full-closed system is unavailable between the
master axis and the slave axis.
If either of the master axis or the slave axis is not the linear scale with distance-coded
reference marks, P/S 5327 occurs when reference position establishment is tried with
the signal of selecting the manual feed axis for simple synchronized control
(SYNCJn<G0140>) to '1'.
(2) The master axis scale and the slave axis scale should be installed in parallel direction.
(The zero positions should be faced the same direction.)
(3) To the parameters, which relate to this function (except No.1883, No.1884), the same
value must be set for the master axis and for the slave axis.
(4) During operating the establishment of reference position, the state of selecting the
manual feed axis for simple synchronized control signal(SYNCJn<G0140>) should be
kept.
Procedure for Reference Position Establishment by synchronous axis is as follows.
- Both of axes (master axis and slave axis) are fed on the reference position return FL
feedrate until distance coded scales of both axes detect the absolute position.
- Then absolute position of both axes are calculated and Reference Position Establishment
Signals (ZRF1,ZRF2,...) turn to "1".

【Synchronization compensation function】
By setting parameter 8301#7(in case that only one master/slave axis pair is in sync) or
8303#7(in case that more than one master/slave axis pair is in sync) is set to '1',
compensation pulses to the slave axis to adjust its position such that it agrees with that of
master axis. As a result, the difference between the positions if master axis and slave axes
are compensated automatically.
Note)
1. If the synchronization error exceeds the value of parameter 8315(in case that only one
master/slave axis pair is in sync) or 8325(in case that more than one master/slave axis
pair is in sync), servo alarm 407 occurs. This alarm can be cleared by the reset key. As
the position error for the slave axis remains even after the alarm is cleared, however, the
positions must be adjusted.
2. The synchronization compensation function is not executed when the servo alarm is
eliminated.
3. In case that more than one master/slave axis pair is in sync, 8303#7(bit axis type) should
be set on the master axis side.
