MC-Basic:axis.SLAVEDISCONNECT

A flag for protection against unwanted disconnection between master and slave pairs during camming/gearing. If this flag is off, the master/slave pair will be disconnected from each other only by explicit issuing: “<slaveaxis>.slave= 0” or “STOP <slaveaxis>”.

This flag causes slave axis errros to be transfered to the master axis. This means if the slave is to be stopped due to a excessive position error , velocity override or slave deviation the master will be stopped too.

Also, if a slave axis is disabled for any reason (directly by the user or as a result of a drive fault), the current master axis will be disabled too.

An exception to these rules is when the master source is not obtained from master drive motion. If master source is an external position or time pulse, the slave will be always disconnected, i.e. the SlaveDisconnect flag functionally will be overwritten.
