8-288.3 5 3 B Synchronous Operation8.3.1 1 2 8 B Overview of Synchronous OperationThe synchronous operation is a function to set an axis to be the standard (master axis) and an axis to besynchronized (slave axis), and make the operations the master and slave axes identical (synchronous).The features of the synchronous operation are as below.- A maximum of 2 groups can be set for the synchronous operation.- The master and slave axis can be set for one axis each.)Two types of synchronous operation can be selected.1. Synchronous mode AUsing this mode enables to switch the setting of the synchronous operation between “enabled” and“disabled”, and perform the synchronous operation as necessary.2. Synchronous mode BThis mode is used to drive a large-sized table such as a carrier machine with two motors. Thesynchronous operation cannot be disabled in the mode B..Differences in the operations of synchronous modesSynchronous mode A Synchronous mode BSynchronoussettingA maximum of 2 groups can be set for the synchronous group.An individual operation mode can be set for each synchronous group.Enabled/disabledof synchronousoperationIt can be selected either Enabled or Disabled. Only EnabledPositioningoperationJOG operationOperation stopPulser operation【Synchronous: When enabled】Operates with the setting of the master axis.The positioning starts for the master axis. Operates with the setting of the master axis.The positioning starts for the master axis.【Synchronous: When disabled】The master and slave axes are operatedaccording to the respective settings for each axis.The positioning starts for each axis.Home returnIt is performed for each axis.It is necessary to set the synchronous operationto be “Disabled” when performing the homereturn.Some home return methods cannot be used.The connection of the switch of thepositioning unit may be changed accordingto the home return methods.
