17.8 Traverse
function
With the traverse function, a triangle-shaped frequency signal with the acceleration
and deceleration times to be set is superimposed on the output frequency. The result-
ing signal courses of the reference frequency of master drive and slave drive are
shown in the following diagrams. The function can be used, for example, for drives
which wind up thread on coils in textile machines. To avoid winding errors at the turn-
ing point of the thread guide, a proportional jump is performed which causes a quick
speed change.

In the case of the master drive, the superimposed traverse frequency proceeds line-
arly to the limit

and then reverses its direction. When the
direction is reversed, a proportional step is affected. Via a handshake signal, the
master drive informs the slave drive that the traverse output has changed its direc-
tion. The traverse function of the slave drive has the same gradient as the traverse
function of the master drive, but with opposite sign. When the slave drive reaches the
limit

before switch-over of the handshake signal, the fre-
quency is maintained until switch-over is affected. If the handshake signal is received
before the frequency limit is reached, the direction is reversed immediately.
