Figure 4-39: Interlock Area
Interlock function is much like a crossroad semaphore. In some
applications, two independent axes will work on the same region
occasionally. In the past, users must take care these two axes’
movement to prevent collision. Now, SSCNET motion control card
has this feature inside. Users don’t need to worried about this
problem. The axis will automatically slow down when the other
axis is inside the predefined region and speed up again when the
other axis leave from this region. It is much useful in this situation.
The encoder update rate is one SSCNET cycle. The slow down
action will be token in the same cycle.
