Display all coupled axes
You can record the results for up to two axes simultaneously. There is
always only one leading axis. All other axes are synchronized axes;
their amplitude can be assigned separately. All active axes of the
grouping are displayed.
For non-mixed couplings, the following axes can be seen as a
maximum:
• one leading axis and two synchronized axes.
• one master axis and two slave axes
With a hybrid master-slave coupling with pure gantry axes the leading
axis always comes from the pure gantry axis grouping. All other axes
are synchronized axes. The texts displayed in the operator interface
change and are updated according to the active type of coupling.
You can navigate through all active axes in the "Gantry
measurement" or "Master / slave measurement" selection screens
where all active couplings are displayed. You can measure up to 2
axes simultaneously. The measuring process must be repeated after
each axis selection.
The axis couplings show the axis identifiers e.g. X1, Z1 or A1 as well
as the axis number of the respective axis grouping.
The values have the following meanings:
Synchronous motors (synchronous rotation motor)
SRM
Asynchronous motors (asynchronous rotation motor)
ARM
Additional information
The HMI does not support initiation of a measurement job for a
master/slave coupling in the position control loop. If you are currently
performing a position control measurement on an axis which is
coupled but not initiated by the HMI, the start is inhibited for this slave
axis and a message is displayed.
When optimizing or measuring gantry axes, HMI Advanced V06.03.xx
should be used if at the complete coupling at least two involved axes
are configured on one control module. This also includes
master/slave axes.
