TRAFO_TYP_212 – Axis coupling

Transformation structure:

A transformation consists of a master and a slave axis. After the transformation is activated, the slave axis follows the motion of the master axis multiplied by a coupling factor.

The transformation with the ID 212 allows an axis coupling at PCS level. This transformation is comparable to the function #GEAR LINK.

Release Note

Function available as of V3.1.3110.3.

The major differences are:

1. The coupling acts on the basis of the programming coordinates compared to the axis coordinates.
2. This coupling includes the coupling motion when the path dynamics are considered.

Restrictions of the transformation:

1. The slave axis may not be traversed while the coupling is active.
2. No CS or transformation may be changed while the coupling is active.
3. A modulo calculation may not be active with either of the axes.

CNC error ID 22274 is triggered with points 1 and 2.

Notice

If the slave axis is defined in the #FGROUP, the motion is taken into consideration by the transformation.
