DESCRIPTION This command defines master-slave relationship between any two axes. A few
rules are in place for ease of use.
•
The trajectory mode for slave has to be appropriately defined before that axis
follows master in a desired fashion.
•
An axis cannot be assigned as its own slave if it is already in a trajectory
mode that is specific to master-slaving.
•
A slave axis cannot be moved individually using PA or PR commands if its
trajectory mode is specific to master-slaving.
This command gets executed immediately, and can also be called from within a
program.
RETURNS If “?” sign is issued along with command, the controller returns master axis
number.
REL. COMMANDS
TJ - set trajectory mode
GR - set master-slave reduction ratio
EXAMPLE
2SS1 | set axis 2 to be the slave of axis 1

1 |
controller returns a value of 1
2TJ5
|
set axis 2 trajectory mode to 5
2GR1.0
|
set the reduction ratio of axis 2 to 1.0
1MO
|
turn axis 1 motor power ON
2MO
|
turn axis 2 motor power ON
1PA10 | move axis 1 to absolute 10 units
2PA20 | move axis 2 to absolute 10 units
TB | read error messages
232, 242000, AXIS-2 INVALID TRAJECTORY MODE FOR MOVING
