OUTLINE OF SYNCHRONOUS CONTROL
The outline, specifications and the operation method of synchronous control using the Simple Motion module are explained in
this chapter.
This chapter helps to understand what can be done using the positioning system and which procedure to use for a specific
purpose.
1.1
Outline of Synchronous Control
"Synchronous control" can be achieved using software instead of controlling mechanically with gear, shaft, speed change
gear or cam, etc.
"Synchronous control" synchronizes movement with the input axis (servo input axis or synchronous encoder axis), by setting
"the parameters for synchronous control" and starting synchronous control on each output axis.

It is possible to control without amplifier
by setting the virtual servo amplifier.
*1 It is possible to drive the servo input axis except for the positioning control (home position return, manual control, speed-torque control,
synchronous control).
For details on the positioning control, the home position return, the manual control and the speed-torque control, refer to the following
manual of the Simple Motion module that is used.

*2 Speed change gear can be arranged on one of "Main shaft side", "Auxiliary shaft side" or "After composite auxiliary shaft gear".
