Modulo axes

Control the axis in the Gearing.Config.Start structure as follows:

Procedure

  • While the master axis is moving, the xStart start signal is set in the "Gearing" mode of the slave axis.
  • With the configuration eTransitionType = "MASTERBASED" and eStartMode = "WITH_CW_CCW_REFERENCE_POSITION", the eGearingState state first switches from "STOPPED" (0) to "WAITING_FOR_STARTPOSITION" (1).
  • As soon as the master axis crosses the trigger position (reference position - half of synchronization distance) (position of cursor), the master-based transition begins. The eGearingState state switches from "WAITING_FOR_STARTPOSITION" (1) to "GEAR_IN" (2).
  • After traveling the configured synchronization distance lrGearInDistance, the eGearingState state switches from "GEAR_IN" (2) to "ACTIVE" (3).
