DESCRIPTION This command sets the master-slave reduction ratio for a slave axis. The
trajectory of the slave is the desired trajectory or actual position of the master
scaled by reduction ratio. Refer to the TJ command to specify the desired
trajectory mode for a slave axis.
Note:
Use this command very carefully. The slave axis will have its speed and
acceleration in the same ratio as the position. Also, ensure that the ratio used for
the slave axis does not cause overflow of this axis’ parameters (speed,
acceleration), especially with ratios greater than 1.
RETURNS If “?” sign is issued along with command, the controller returns master-slave
reduction ratio.
REL. COMMANDS SS - define master-slave relationship
EXAMPLE 2SS1 | set axis 2 to be the slave of axis 1
2SS? | query the master axis number for axis 2
1 | controller returns a value of 1
2TJ5 | set axis 2 trajectory mode to 5
2GR0.5 | set the reduction ratio of axis 2 to 0.5
2GR? | query the reduction ratio of axis 2
0.5 | controller returns a value of 0.5
