TE3: Speed/torque coupling, master-slave

16.1

Brief description

A master-slave coupling is a speed setpoint coupling between a master and any number of
slave axes - performed at the position controller level - with and without torque equalization
control. The coupling can be permanently switched on, dynamically switched on/off and
reconfigured.
Note
The following restrictions apply for the SINUMERIK 828D with regard to the "Master-slave
coupling":
● Only one master-slave grouping is possible.
● Only one slave axis can be coupled to the master axis.
Applications
Possible applications of a master-slave coupling include:
● Increase the power for mechanically coupled drives
● Compensating gear and gear tooth flank play by entering a pre-tensioning torque
Dynamic master-slave coupling of two axes
