Syntax
EGDEF(following axis,leading axis1,coupling type1,leading
axis2,coupling type2,...)
Significance
EGDEF
Following axis
Leading axis1
,...,
Leading axis5
Coupling type1
,...,
Coupling type5
Note
The coupling factors are preset to zero when the EG axis grouping is defined.
Note
EGDEF triggers preprocessing stop. The gearbox definition with EGDEF should also be used
unaltered if, for systems, one or more leading axes affect the following axis via a curve table.

Definition of an electronic gear
Axis that is influenced by the leading axes
Axes that influence the following axis
Coupling type
The coupling type does not need to be the same for all leading
axes and must be programmed separately for each individual
master.
Value: Significance:
0 The following axis is influenced by the actual value of
the corresponding leading axis.
1 The following axis is influenced by the setpoint of the
corresponding leading axis.
Comments
; Definition of an EG axis group. Leading axes B, Z, Y
influence the following axis C via the setpoint.
