Single and Multi-Axis Motion

In Single-Axis, as shown in the figures above, one setpointClosed Setpoint is the target value that an automatic control system, for example PID controller, will aim to reach generator is linked to one axis.

Multi-Axis motion consists of synchronizing several axes linked to a common motion source. This source can be external, like a physical motor (called master) or an internal profile generator (called virtual master) as shown in Multi-Axis Driven by a Virtual Master below.
