Follower Motion

The diagram below illustrates two DSM314 digital axes connected in parallel with
Commanded Position from Axis 1 driving servo loops for Axis 1 and Axis 2. This will allow
both axes to run from the same commanded path. Note that Axis 1 is configured with
Follower Control Loop = Disabled. This configuration does not allow for load sharing
between axes that are tightly coupled. The reader should note that with this configuration
the Local Logic function can be run. This is because the command generator for axis #4 is
not required for this configuration.
