Page 183 Manual (Cat. No. W561). Additional Information You cannot map the Z-phase input to a PDO for an OMRON G5-series Linear Motor Type Servo Drive with built-in EtherCAT communications. Therefore, if you use the No Home Proximity Input/Holding Home Input Homing Operation Mode, which can use a Z-phase input mapped to a PDO, do not select the Z-phase input for the home input signal.
Page 184 8 Homing Homing Start Direction Select the direction (positive or negative) in which the axis starts moving when homing is started. If homing starts while the home proximity signal is ON in a Homing Operation Mode that includes reversal operation for a proximity reverse turn, the axis starts motion in the direction opposite to the home input detection direction (regardless of the setting of the homing start direction).
Page 185 8 Homing • An error occurs and the axis stops if the axis is set to reverse direction, and the limit signal in the home input detection direction turns ON when traveling at the homing approach velocity. However, if the Homing Operation Mode is 13 (no home proximity input/holding home input), which does not use proximity signals, no error will occur and the axis will not stop.

9 Motion Control Functions Single-axis Synchronized Control This section describes the operation of synchronized control for single axes. 9-2-1 Overview of Synchronized Control Synchronous control synchronizes the position of a slave axis with the position of a master axis. The command position or actual position of any axis can be specified for the master axis.
Page 207: Positioning Gear Operation
9 Motion Control Functions 9-2-3 Positioning Gear Operation This function specifies the gear ratio between the master axis and the slave axis and starts operation. Positioning gear operation allows you to set the positions of the master and slave axes at which to start synchronization.
Page 208: Cam Operation
9 Motion Control Functions 9-2-4 Cam Operation Cam operation synchronizes the position of the slave axis with the master axis according to a cam table. Start cam operation with the MC_CamIn (Start Cam Operation) instruction. End cam operation with the MC_CamOut (End Cam Operation) instruction or the MC_Stop instruction. Create a cam table using the Cam Editor in the Sysmac Studio and download it to the NY-series Controller.
Page 209: Cam Tables
9 Motion Control Functions 9-2-5 Cam Tables This section describes the cam tables that are used for cam operation. Cam Table Terminology Term Description cam operation An operation that takes one master axis and one slave axis and follows the cam pro- file curve to derive the displacement of the slave axis from the phase of the master axis.
Page 210 9 Motion Control Functions Term Description cam table start position The absolute position of the master axis that corresponds to the cam start point (phase = 0). master following dis- The master start distance where the slave axis starts cam operation represented as tance either an absolute position or relative position.
Page 211 9 Motion Control Functions Cam Tables The MC Function Module defines a single element of data consisting of the phase of the master axis and the displacement of the slave axis as one cam data. A cam table is defined as the combination of multiple sets of cam data.
Page 212 9 Motion Control Functions Cam Table Specifications Item Description Maximum number of cam data per 65,535 points cam table Maximum size of all cam data 1,048,560 points Maximum number of cam tables 640 tables Switching cam operation You can switch to a different cam operation by executing a motion control instruction Changing cam data Cam data can be edited from the user program.
Page 213 9 Motion Control Functions Switching Cam Tables You can switch cam tables by re-executing the cam operation instruction during cam operation. After switching, cam operation will be performed with the cam table you specified for re-execution of the instruction. The EndOfProfile and Index output variables from the MC_CamIn instruction are output according to the new cam table.
Page 214 9 Motion Control Functions Updating Cam Table Properties The MC Function Module must identify the cam end point of the cam table. If an overwrite is performed from the user program during cam operation and the number of valid cam data changes, you must update the number of valid cam data to the latest value.
Page 215 9 Motion Control Functions Generate Cam Table You can generate the cam table by executing the MC_GenerateCamTable (Generate Cam Table) instruction. The MC_GenerateCamTable instruction calculates the cam data using the values specified for Cam- Property (Cam Properties) and CamNodes (Cam Nodes), and rewrites the cam data variable specified for the CamTable (Cam Table) in-out variable.
Page 216 9 Motion Control Functions By using the HMI, etc. to set the values for the MC_GenerateCamTable instruction, you can create the cam data variable and adjust the cam operation without using the Sysmac Studio. The following is the procedure used to adjust the cam operation. Create a user program, in advance, that includes the following processing.
