Description
This function enables the master-slave mode only if the slave group is in ready mode. In
this mode the slave must be defined as a Spindle group and the master can be a
positioner from any group.
To use this function, the Spindle group must be in the READY state. If it’s not the case
then (-22) error is returned.
To use this function, the master positioner and the slave ratio must be configured with
the “SpindleSlaveParametersSet” function. If it’s not the case then (-41) error is
returned.
