Description:
When 2 physical axes are rigidly coupled together by the load or other means (examples: gantry system X/X' coupled by a Y-Axis or 2 x ESBF rods attached), then it is necessary to synchronise/Gear these axes with an electronic alignment (Master to Slave).
This application note discusses the required settings to control the 2 x parallel linear axes in Synchronous Position Absolute mode using CMMT-AS-xx controllers.
It also discusses ways to implement monitoring of Slave faults and
Error situations based on the “Cross wire monitoring”
Any PLC could be used for the control. Rockwell is just an example.
