1-12-1-1 Virtual Axes
This section describes setting and using virtual axes.
Overview
Virtual axes can be used internally by the MC Unit even with no external
devices (such as servo drivers, servomotors, or encoders) or external I/O con-
nected.
By executing the IOWR instruction in the CPU Unit's ladder program, the X, Y,
Z, or U axis can be specified as a virtual axis.
Program design and debugging, and control of synchronized operations, can
be simplified by specifying a virtual axis as the input axis for the electronic
gear or electronic cam function.
Moreover, in case of slippage in motor or workpiece operations, position com-
pensation can be simplified by setting the compensation amount (i.e., the slip-
page amount) as the virtual axis target position, and using that with the
electronic gear or electronic cam function.
Note Position command values from the virtual axis are automatically returned as
feedback from the encoder, making it possible to simulate ideal operating con-
ditions with an error level of zero.
Settings
Virtual axes are used as follows:
