Some users implement a slave axis by linking two drives. Slave axis implementation in CSMIO/IP-A has
one significant advantage - available function of machine geometry correction (e.g. gantry perpendiculari-
ty). It is more specifically described in the addition „Slave axis configuration example". In brief – for each
X, Y, Z-axis you can define one slave axis. The slave axes can be A, B and C.
Configuration parameters:
Slave

Geometry Correction
Slave axis working mode:
No Correction

In „A" addition you can find slave axis configuration example described.
If you want to use slave axis function – read the addition „Slave axis configuration example".
CS-Lab Company has made every effort to ensure reliability of the CSMIO/IP-A controller. However, the
company does not take any responsibility for any mechanics damage as a result of wrong configuration
and any eventual failure or software errors of CSMIO/IP-A controller.

Mode without correction – Master and Slave axes work just like
"glued" together.
Homing position difference readout between Master and Slave
axes. After homing the value will be entered in „Geometry Cor-
rection" area.
After homing, Slave axis is "freed" for a while and geometry
correction motion is done. It allows for e.g. perpendicularity
settings in gentry machines.
