Axes Group Synchronized Motion

The Function Blocks MC_SyncGroupToAxis MC_SyncGroupToAxis and MC_SyncAxisToGroup MC_SyncAxisToGroup deal with a master/slave relationship between a single or group of axes and a single or group of axes for coordination purposes.

Graphical explanation of coordination

There are two kinds of coordinated motion that have to be distinguished from a programming point of view and in the realization of the motion control itself. These two modes are identified here through their names:

• Synchronization
• Tracking

• Synchronization
  • Synchronization of single axis to an axes group
  • Synchronization of an axes group to a single axis
• Tracking
