1.5.1 Function
Function
"Generic Coupling" is a general coupling function, combining all coupling characteristics of
existing coupling types (coupled motion, master value coupling, electronic gearbox and
synchronous spindle).
The function allows flexible programming:
• Users can select the coupling properties required for their applications (building block
• Each coupling property can be programmed individually.
• The coupling properties of a defined coupling (e.g. coupling factor) can be changed.
• Later use of additional coupling properties is possible.
• The coordinate reference system of the following axis (Base co-ordinate system or
• Certain coupling properties can also be programmed with synchronous actions.

Previous coupling calls for coupled motion (TRAIL*), Master value coupling (LEAD*),
Electronic Gearbox (EG*) and Synchronous spindle (COUP*) are supported via adaptive
cycles (see Chapter "Compatibility").
