MC_GearIn, MCP_GearIn –  Engange the master/slave velocity ratio

Block SymbolsLicensing group: MOTION CONTROL
PIC PIC

Function Description

The MC_GearIn and MCP_GearIn blocks offer the same functionality, the only difference is that some of the inputs are available as parameters in the MCP_ version of the block.

The MC_GearIn block commands the slave axis motion in such a way that a preset ratio between master and slave velocities is maintained. Considering the velocity of master axis V elM and velocity of slave axis V elS, following relation holds (without phasing): V elS = V elM RatioNumeratorRatioDenominator. Position and acceleration is commanded to be consistent with velocity; position/distance ratio is also locked. This mode of synchronized motion is called electronic gear.

The gear mode is switched off by executing other motion block on slave axis with mode aborting or by executing a MC_GearIn block.

Similarly to the MC_CamIn block, ramp-in mode is activated if initial velocity of slave axis is different from master axis and gearing ratio. Parameters Acceleration, Deceleration, Jerk are used during ramp-in mode.
