Note
Each slave axis has exactly one master axis and vice versa.
Characteristics
●
If traversing is programmed for a slave axis that has already been linked, an alarm is
issued.
●
The setpoint position of the coupled slave axis corresponds to the current actual position.
●
On request, the coupling is made or released independent of the channel status the next
time the axis stops. This allows the coupling status to be changed even during part
program processing.
●
For brake control, the interface signal "Master-slave coupling status active" should be
used.
●
If a master axis is simultaneously configured as the slave, an alarm is issued. So
cascading is not possible.
●
If a coupling is requested and closed, the control activation signals are derived directly
from the master axis.
●
If the coupling is closed, the slave axis is speed-controlled, meaning that status signal
"Position controller active" (V390x 0001.5) is not set.
●
A separate item of machine data has been provided for reversing the direction of the
slave axis in the coupled state:
