An overview of the mechanical modules used at the mechanical module connection
diagrams in the virtual mode is shown in Tables 5.1.
Refer to Chapter 6 to 8 for details of the each mechanical module.

Function Description
Auxiliary
Input
Axis Side
• It is used to drive the virtual axis of
mechanical system program by the
–-
servo program or JOG operation.
• It is used to drive the virtual axis by the
input pulses from the external
–-
synchronous encoder.
• This is a virtual "link shaft".
• Drive module rotation is transferred to
–-
the transmission module.
• This is the auxiliary input axis for input to
the differential gear of transmission
–- module.
• It is automatically displayed when a
differential gear and gear are connected.
• The drive module rotation is transmitted
to the output axis.
• A setting gear ratio is applied to the
travel value (pulse) input from the drive
1
module, and then transmits to the output
axis that it becomes in the setting
rotation direction.
• Transmit or separate the drive module
rotation to the output module.
• There are a direct clutch transmitted
directly and the smoothing clutch which
performs the acceleration/deceleration
and transmission by the smoothing time
constant setting at the switching
1
ON/OFF of the clutch.
• It can be selected the ON/OFF mode,
address mode or the external input
mode depending on the application.
• Time constant system or slippage
system can be selected as a smoothing
method.
• It is used to change the speed of output
module (roller).
• The setting speed change ratio is
1
applied to input axis speed, and
transmits to the output axis.
• Auxiliary input axis rotation is
subtracted from virtual main shaft
rotation and the result is transmitted to
the output axis.
–-
• Auxiliary input axis rotation is
subtracted from virtual main shaft
rotation, and the result is transmitted to
the output axis.
(Connected to the virtual main shaft)
• It is used to perform the speed control
at the final output.
• It is used to perform the linear
positioning control at the final output.
1
• It is used to perform the angle control
at the final output.
• It is used to control except the above.
Position control is executed based on
the cam pattern setting data.
• There are 2 cam control modes: the
two-way cam and feed cam.
