below.

in this mode the makeup process takes the amount of
time specified by Ramp Makeup Time parameter (refer to Figure 60). This is the
default mode.

Makeup Velocity Mode
–
This mode is reserved for future use.
5.35 Ramp Makeup Time. Follower Acceleration Ramp Makeup Time (milliseconds).
Specifies the time in milliseconds used to make up the master command counts lost
during a follower acceleration ramp. If the distance correction is not possible in the
configured makeup time (because the value is too small) then the correction time is
longer, and a warning error is reported. This setting only has an effect when the
Ramp Makeup Mode is set to Makeup Time.
If an acceleration ramp without any correction for lost counts is desired,
Makeup Time should be set to 0. In this case, the motor will synchronize
velocity relative to the master, but will not attempt to correct for any positional
deviation that occurs while the follower axis is accelerating.
Makeup time has a minimum value of 10, so for values entered in the range of
1…10 use 10 instead.
Default: 0.
