Introduction
The axis command and controlled placement offer for Premium PLCs is designed for machines, which require a simultaneous performing movement command and a sequential command by programmable controller.
The following modules: TSX CAY 21 (2 axes) and TSX CAY 41 (4 axes) make controlled placement possible on independent, linear and limited axes.
The modules TSX CAY 22 (2 axes) and TSX CAY 42 (4 axes) make controlled placement possible on independent, circular and infinite axes.
The module TSX CAY 33 (3 axes) makes a placement on 2 or 3 synchronized axes (linear interpolation) possible.
Terminology
These modules in standard format (TSX CAY 2•) or double format (TSX CAY 4• and TSX CAY 33) can be installed in all the available slots of a PLC configuration (TSX, or PCX).
To ensure position measurement, an encoder (which may be a different type) is wired onto each of the channels:
