8.1 Synchronisation (slave mode)
8.1.1 Function: Synchronisation
During synchronisation (slave mode), the motor controller is synchronised to the sync hronisation set-
point value. The encoder signals “incremental signal (A/ B/N), pulse/direc tion signal (CLK/DIR) or for-
ward/reverse signal (CW/CW)” can be used for this purpose. The motor controller receives the syn-
chronisation setpoint value from an inc remental encoder, a controller or a master motor controller. The
motor controller can be controlled via the synchronisation interface “encoder input
[X10][X10.1/X10.2] ” or the control interface “digital inputs [X10][X10.1/X10.2] ”. From the setpoint
value of the encoder signal, the parameterised line c ount and the parameterised “virtual gear unit”, the
motor controller calculates the position setpoint v alues and transfers these cyclically to the position
control.
The incremental signals “A/#A/B/#B/N/#N” from the synchronisation inter-
face [ X10/X10.1/X10.2] can either be used as an encoder input for synchronisation or as
an encoder output for encoder emulation (default setting).
During synchronisation, all other operating modes are on hold.
