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
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).
