Method of function Position control is deactivated in the slave axis. The nominal velocity of the 
master axis is at the same time the nominal velocity of the slave axis. The 
speed controllers of both axes remain independent. The manipulated variables 
coming from the speed controllers, i.e. the nominal torque current values, are 
weighted with the torque constants of the motors and compared with each 
other. In addition, a tensioning torque (MP2900.x) can be introduced at this 
comparison point. To permit a distribution of drive torque, the nominal torque 
of the slave axis can be multiplied with a weighting factor (MP2920.x). The 
result at the comparison point is fed to a torque balancing controller that 
amplifies it proportionally (MP2910.x). The manipulated variable of the 
balancing controller is a speed compensation value that is added to the current 
speed value.
