6.1  Precautions when selecting Motor

6-1

Precautions

Observe the following precautions when using the twin drive.

6.1

Precautions when selecting Motor

When using the twin drive,  both twin-driven axes have to move in the same way and the 
same level for both axis operation and playback.  Use the same motors for the twin-driven 
axes.

6.2

Precautions when Setting Station Axes

To use the twin drive function, the station axes must be in maintenance mode.  Note the fol-
lowing precautions when setting the station axes.

For operation methods in the maintenance mode, refer to “Instruction Manual” (MANUAL NO.: 
RE-CTO-A203).

6.2.1

Setting Mechanical Specifications

When setting the station axis, enter the following data for the mechanical specifications.

• MOTION RANGE (+)
• MOTION RANGE (-)
• REDUCTION RATIO (NUMER)
• REDUCTION RATIO (DENOM)

When using the twin drive, both twin-driven axes have to move in the same way and the same 
level for both axis operation and playback.  Set the same condition data for both axes.

6.2.2

Setting Motor Specifications

When setting a station axis, enter the following data for the motor specifications.

• ROTATION DIRECTION (NORMAL/REVERSE)
• MAX. RPM
• ACCELERATION TIME
• INERTIA RATIO

When using the twin drive function, both twin-driven axes have to move in the same way and 
the same level for both axis operation and playback.  Set the same condition data for “MAX. 
RPM”, “ACCELERATION TIME”, and “INERTIA RATIO” of both axes.
