Follower Mode Command Source and Connection
Options
The diagrams on the following pages illustrate a variety of Master axis and Follower slave
axis loop connection options.
The diagram below illustrates the three DSM314 analog axes connected in parallel with
Actual Position for Axis #4. The reader should note that with this configuration, the Local
Logic function can be run. This is because the command generator for axis #4 is not required
for this configuration. The Master Source Configuration items are all set to Actual Position
Axis #4. This is not a requirement. However, it does eliminate a source of error due to the
master source select bit being set incorrectly.
