2. Position Adjustment of Synchro-Axis Sliders
The positions of synchro-axis sliders are adjusted (physically adjusted for parallelism).
(1) With the axes and controller not connected by cables (main controller power is off), adjust the relative
positioning of the master axis and slave axis and couple the axes.
(2) If position adjustment cannot be performed with the axes and controller not connected by cables
(when a brake is equipped, etc.), follow the steps below:
1. Decouple the sliders and connect the axes and controller using cables.
2. Record the values currently set for the master axis and slave axis in “Axis-specific parameter No.
65, Mating synchro-axis number.” (These values will be used to revert the parameters to the
original settings in a subsequent process.)
3. Enter “0” for both the master axis and slave axis in “Axis-specific parameter No. 65, Mating
synchro-axis number,” in order to temporarily disable the synchro function. Then, select [Transfer
to Controller] [Write to Flash ROM] [Restart Controller] (software reset).
4. Perform an absolute reset separately for the master axis and slave axis, using the standard
procedure.
5. Adjust the relative slider positions via jog operation, etc., and couple the sliders.
6. To enable the synchro function again, enter the values of the master axis and slave axis recorded
in step 2 in “Axis-specific parameter No. 65, Mating synchro-axis number.” Then, select [Transfer
to Controller] [Write to Flash ROM] [Restart Controller] (software reset).
3. Special Absolute-Reset Procedure
When the master axis = 1 and slave axis = 1 in “Axis-specific parameter No. 38, Encoder ABS/INC type”
(1) Record the value currently set for the slave axis in “Axis-specific parameter No. 83, ABS synchro
slave-axis coordinate initialization cancellation.”
(This value will be used to revert the parameter to the original setting in a subsequent process.)
(2) Enter “0” for the slave axis in “Axis-specific parameter No. 83, ABS synchro slave-axis coordinate
initialization cancellation.”
Select [Transfer to Controller] [Write to Flash ROM] [Restart Controller] (software reset).
