Detailed Description
2.3 Setpoint/actual-value system
Local position of gear unit/encoder

Motor/load gear
The motor/load gear supported by SINUMERIK is configured via the following machine data:
MD31060 $MA_DRIVE_AX_RATIO_NUMERA (Numerator load gearbox)
MD31050 $MA_DRIVE_AX_RATIO_DENOM (Denominator load gearbox)
The transmission ratio is obtained from the numerator/denominator ratio of both machine
data. The associated parameter sets are used automatically as default by the control to
synchronize the position controller with the relevant transmission ratios.
Since a gear stage change is not always carried out automatically, and there are also
several ways to request a gear stage change, the position controller is not always
incorporated via parameter sets.
Note
For more information about parameter sets during gear stage change, see:
