9.2.2 Selection of Slave Axes and Settings
Selection of slave axes
• Axes that can be used as slave axes are real axes. Virtual axes can be used only as the
master axis.
• Axes set as slave axes operate in synchronization with the master axis as long as
synchronous control is enabled. No slave axes can perform positioning and other control
independently from the master axis while synchronous control is enabled.
Settings for slave axes
Slave axes operate in synchronization with the master axis. Set the following items, however,
for each individual slave axis.
• Unit setting
• Numbers of pulses per revolution
• Movement per revolution
