Parameters Associated with Master / Slave Axes

TSX CAY •2: Link between Master and Slave Axes
A ratio and an offset define the link between the master axis and the slave axis.
ConsignePositionEsclave = PositionMaître x (Ratio1 / Ratio2) + SlaveOffset
If the slave is an infinite type machine, the Modulo operator is applied in the calculations of the slave position setpoint. Modulo value: ModuloValue is defined by %Mdxy.i.33.
TSX CAY •2: Ratio
The ratio defined by: Ratio = Ratio1 / Ratio2 is adjustable.
Dynamic ratio values are set between 0.01 and 100. The ratio can be negative.
TSX CAY •2: Offset
The SlaveOffset parameter corresponds to the position offset value between master and slave.
If the SlaveOffset parameter is zero, the slave axis setpoint = Ratio x master axis Setpoint or Measurement.
The offset value must be between -230-1 and 230-1 and the resulting ConsignePositionEsclave parameter must stay within the software limits of the slave.
TSX CAY •1
TSX CAY •1 modules are used to carry out master / slave applications, with non-modifiable ratio, and without offset shift.
NOTE: In the case of 2 infinite axes (master and slave):
Modulo Master x Ratio = Modulo Slave x k where k = whole number
k represents the number of revolutions made by the slave in the time taken for the master to make one revolution.
Examples
Examples
Ratio=1.25
k=1 (for 1 master revolution, the slave makes 1 revolution)
Ratio=1.25
k=3 (for 1 master revolution, the slave makes 3 revolutions)
