12.2 Settings for Master and Slave Axes
12-5
KEY POINTS
•
While the positioning unit is in synchronous control, slave axes set to use
the master axis will operate only in synchronization with the master axis,
i.e., the slave axes cannot operate independently.
•
The virtual axis is assigned to a single axis only. In the case of using the
virtual axis, check the box for the virtual axis in the dialog box to set the
operating axes on the Configurator PM7.
•
The home return of the virtual axis is possible only by data setting.
•
If pulse input is set for the master axis, the master axis will synchronize
with pulse input from an external device, such as an encoder. Therefore, the
master axis cannot be stopped arbitrarily.
12.2.2 Selection of Slave Axes and Settings
Selection of Slave Axes
The 1st to 8th axes are available as slave axes. The virtual axis can be used only as the
master axis.
When “Synchronous master axis” is selected in the synchronous parameter dialog box of the
Configurator PM7, the corresponding axis will operate as a salve axis for the specified master
axis.
Up to eight slave axes can be set for a single master axis.
Axes set as slave axes operate in synchronization with the master axis as long as
synchronous control is enabled. No slave axes can perform positioning and other control
independently from the master axis while synchronous control is enabled.
Settings for Slave Axes
The slave axes operate in synchronization with the master axis. Set the following items,
however, for each individual salve axis.
•
Unit setting
•
Number of pulses per rotation
•
Movement amount per rotation
