MC_GearIn

This function block couples a slave axis to a master axis without a coupling condition (direct coupling). The speed ratio between the slave axis and the master axis can be specified.

VAR_INPUT

Variable name	Data type	Description
Execute	BOOL	Start execution of the function block.
RatioNumerator	DINT	Numerator ratio master-slave (default value: 1)
RatioDenominator	DINT	Denominator ratio master-slave (default value: 1)
BufferMode	MC_BUFFER_MODE	Chronological sequence of the function block
RampInMode	E_RampInMode	Behavior during synchronization: eDirect: Synchronization takes place without a transition profile. This can lead to jumps in the setpoint curve. eProfileBased: Synchronization is based on a transition profile with the dynamic values RampInVelocity, RampInAcceleration, RampInDeceleration and RampInJerk. This achieves a continuous setpoint curve.
RampInVelocity	LREAL	Speed for profile-based synchronization (RampInMode = eProfileBased)
RampInAcceleration	LREAL	Acceleration for profile-based synchronization (RampInMode = eProfileBased)
RampInDeceleration	LREAL	Deceleration for profile-based synchronization (RampInMode = eProfileBased)
RampInJerk	LREAL	Jerk with profile-based synchronization (RampInMode = eProfileBased)
CatchUp	BOOL	TRUE: Any offset that occurs during profile-based synchronization is compensated. FALSE: Any offset that occurs during profile-based synchronization is not compensated.

VAR_OUTPUT

Variable name	Data type	Description
InGear	BOOL	Slave axis is synchronous to the master axis
Busy	BOOL	Function block is active
Active	BOOL	Function block controls the axis
CommandAborted	BOOL	The function block was canceled by another command
Error	BOOL	An error has occurred in the function block
ErrorID	WORD	Error number
StartSync	BOOL	Slave axis synchronizes
