Ratio Format BOOLEAN BOOLEAN Immediate The desired ratio specification format.
Select either:
0 = real gear ratio
1 = integer fraction of slave encoder
counts to master encoder counts.
Clutch BOOLEAN BOOLEAN Immediate When Clutch is enabled, motion
control ramps the slave axis up to
gearing speed at the instruction’s
defined Acceleration value. If not
enabled, the Slave axis immediately
locks onto the Master axis. If the
Master Axis is currently moving this
condition results in an abrupt
uncontrolled acceleration event of the
Slave Axis which can cause the axis to
fault. Select either:
0 = enabled
1 = disabled
Accel Rate BOOLEAN BOOLEAN Immediate or
Tag
Acceleration rate of the Slave Axis in
% or Acceleration Units. It is applied
when the Clutch feature is enabled.
Accel Units DINT DINT Immediate The units used to display the
Acceleration value. Select either:
0 = units per sec
2
1 = % of maximum acceleration
