4.3.7 Electronic gear function
The electronic gear function allows you to set a gain on the position
command or position feedback data to adjust the ratio between the
main motor and sub-motor speeds during the synchronous operation
of the motors.

Note 1: Block diagrams for the electronic gear function are shown below.
Note 2: You are recommended to set the feed-forward gain setting (P022) to 2.00 first when adjusting the
feed-forward gain. To reduce the position deviation between the main motor and sub-motor, increase the
feed-forward gain. If the motor operation is unstable, reduce the feed-forward gain.
Note 3: You are recommended to set the position loop gain (P023) to 2.00 first when adjusting the loop gain. To
increase the positioning accuracy and position-holding force, increase the loop gain. If a high loop gain results
in unstable motor operation, reduce the loop gain.
Note 4: The electronic gear ratio (N/D) must be within the following range:
1/50 ≤ N/D ≤ 20
N: Electronic gear ratio numerator (P020)
D: Electronic gear ratio denominator (P021)
