The
command defines the length of the master cycle in user units. This value is scaled by the
FMCLEN
parameter. Numeric variables (

), which means that the default master cycle length is the maximum internal size (4,294,967,296).
FMCLENØ
The concept of a master cycle may be useful when moves or other events must be initiated at certain master
positions in a repetitive cycle. By specifying a master cycle length, periodic actions may be programmed in
a loop or with subroutines which refer to cycle positions, even if the master runs continuously. You can
program the Gem6K drive to suspend program operation or delay moves until specified master cycle
positions. The master cycle length,
master cycle positions are used. An axis need not be in Following mode (
a master cycle. However, master positions will not be measured until a master has been assigned with
the
command.
FOLMAS
Example (refer also to FOLEN example #2):
SCLMAS4000
; Set the master scale factor to 4000
FMCLEN3
; Set master cycle length to 3 user units
