● The following applies to setpoint couplings (DV):
● Before selecting the synchronous mode, the gear stage necessary for FS and LS must be
Cross-channel coupling
The LS can be located in any channel.
● The LS can be exchanged between channels by means of "Axis exchange".
● When several following spindles are coupled to one leading spindle, the dynamic

programmed spindles with the last valid parameters and thus also activates synchronous
mode. This coupling may be a fixed configuration or user-defined. The leading spindle and/or
following spindle may be at standstill or in motion at the instant of activation.
Certain conditions must be fulfilled before synchronous operation can be activated (see

COUPON activation variants
Two different methods can be selected to activate synchronous mode:
1. Fastest possible activation of coupling with any angular reference between leading and
2. Activation of coupling with a defined angular offset POS

response of the coupling is determined by the weakest response as a function of the
coupling factor. The acceleration rate and maximum speed are reduced for the leading
spindle to such a degree that none of the coupled following spindles can be overloaded.
