Syncronization basically means both axes will make the same travel at the same time. But just like your mechnical system have it's own tolerance the syncronization has it's own tolerance as well. 1. So for some application just tuning both axes and executing a "Single axis" simultaniusly will do just fine. 2. For others you can use an internal loop withing your control application- set one axis as "Master" and then check for the position diffrance between them, The diffrance can be used as a factor to a PID function that increases the "Slave" velocity at the position block in order to reduce the lag\lead of the slave comparing to the Master.(Dont forget to allow "Contiues update" bit) 3. You can wait for the MC_GearInPos block that will be introduced soon un UniLogic for Cyclic Ethercat functionallties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Yes! I was hoping to find that function block in the current Unilogic motion commands, but didn't see it. Any idea when it will be added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 I don't have the go ahead yet, so I'll wait for the new releases for now. Should I receive a PO. soon, I will take you up on your offer. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Tom Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Hi. I am starting with unitronics PLC's and i have to make at new project with two servo working where one is a master and other one slave , Foil is pulled by rollers through machine and salve servo needs to follow master +keep spare amout of foil in hanging loop. Thanks for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for help. Hi, if you are pulling a foil many times only one axis in pulling while the other needs to mantain \ control the tension. In that case the "master" pulles according to the requested command (position\velocity) and the 2nd axis just work in torque control (with max velocity limitation) so it doesn't care about the actual movement.

Big Tom Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 There is i chance to get this functions bit earlier for tests ? It would be helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
