Characteristics of the control methods in comparison  
Figure 4.46 Master-/Slave coupling via two control cables
Note: The motors run speed-synchronously, not angle-synchro-
nously. In primary frequency coupling a dead time of 
max. 2 ms is created between two axles.
A maximum of five slave drives can be connected.
