GEAR.IN

Description

This parameter sets the denominator of the gear ratio for the electronic gearing mode. The gear ratio is used in order to increase and decrease the slave velocity. The slave velocity can be calculated by the following formula:

Slave velocity = Master velocity * GEAR.OUT/GEAR.IN

Be sure that you set the external master source number of signals per revolution correctly. Also, select the gear ratio so that the maximum electronic gearing velocity (GEAR.VMAX) is not exceeded.

Master velocitymax * GEAR.OUT/GEAR.IN < GEAR.VMAX
