Synchronizing directly with time-based transition

In the case of a time-based transition, synchronization is carried out during a settable period of time, regardless of the movement of the master axis.

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

Interface in the IEC Editor

Procedure

While the master axis is moving, the start signal xStart is set in the "Camming" mode of the slave axis.
With the configuration eStartMode = "CW_CCW_DIRECT" and eTransitionType = "TIMEBASED", the eGearingState state switches immediately from "STOPPED" (0) to "GEAR_IN" (2).
After the configured synchronization time lrGearInTime = "1.0" [s] has passed, the slave axis becomes synchronous. The eGearingState state switches from "GEAR_IN" (2) to "ACTIVE" (3).
Then the master axis runs while the slave axis follows with its curve.

Trace recording

A decisive factor for the time-based transition is that it is performed independently of the movement of the master axis, as illustrated by the following trace recording:

Procedure

While the master axis is in the idle state, the start signal xStart is set in the "Camming" mode of the slave axis.
With the configuration eStartMode = "CW_CCW_DIRECT" and eTransitionType = "TIMEBASED", the eGearingState state switches immediately from "STOPPED" (0) to "GEAR_IN" (2).
The state is maintained until the configured synchronization time lrGearInTime = "1.0" [s] has passed.
Then the slave axis becomes synchronous, even if the master axis is not moving. The eGearingState state switches from "GEAR_IN" (2) to "ACTIVE" (3).
