MC-Basic:axis.MASTERSOURCE
Defines the source of an axis when it is in a slave mode (Gear or CAM). The slave axis follows the command generated by that source.
Short form
<axis>.MSour
Syntax
<axis>.MasterSource = <source>
?<axis>.MasterSource
Availability
Versions 3.6.20 and higher
Range
Position command of any axis, specified as <axis>.POSITIONCOMMAND
Position feedback from any axis, specified as <axis>.POSITIONFEEDBACK
External position (PEXT) from any axis (SERVOSTAR drive), specified as
<axis>.POSITIONEXTERNAL
System clock at 1 Sercos cycle resolution as TIMEPULSE
 | NOTE |
|
It is important to take care for the ascending order of drive addresses that are connected into master slave chain. Master axis has to be always with a lower address then slave(<master>.dadd < <slave>.dadd), if opposite a position delay of at least one motion sample wil be generated. Referenced master axis must have lower elementId than slave, if additional delays have to be avoided. |
- In Version 4.5.21 and higher
In case of chained Master/Slave axes: BeforeanyAxis MasterSource setting change, the previous onemust be RESET ( by MasterSource setting back to NONE ).
Scope
Configuration, Task or Terminal
Limitations
Cannot be changed while axis is slaved.
To set the value within a task, the axis must be attached to that task (using the ATTACH command).
