AXIS#.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 * AXIS#.GEAR.OUT/AXIS#.GEAR.IN

Be sure that you set the external master source number of signals per revolution correctly. See AXIS#.GEAR.FBSOURCE to determine the gearing master source and verify the feedback resolution for that device.

General Information

This content is not applicable to KAS, using either a PAC"Programmable Automation Controller" PAC is a compact controller that combines the features and capabilities of a PC-based control system with that of a typical programmable logic controller (PLC). A PAC thus provides not only the reliability of a PLC, but also the task flexibility and computing power of a PC. Additionally, because they function and communicate over popular network interface protocols, PACs are able to transfer data from the machines they control to other machines and components in a networked control system or a PDMM.
