8. TANDEM DRIVE
8.3 Axis data classifications
Axis data for tandem drive axes have 2 data type settings: "only master axis data is valid" and "master
axis/slave axis data are separate".
POINT
Refer to Section 10.6 concerning axis data classifications for tandem drive
axes. In this table, "only master axis data is valid" is designated as "master"
while "master axis/slave axis data are separate" is designated as "axes
separate".
It is possible to review monitor data for each axis individually.
8.3.1 Only data from master axis is valid
(1) Command table data
When the drive mode is synchronous mode, only the command table data from the master axis is valid. For
this case the command table data for the slave is ignored. If the drive mode is non-synchronous micro-
adjustment mode, each axis becomes valid.
(2) Status table data
When the drive mode is synchronous mode, only the status table data from the master axis is valid. For this
case the status table data for the slave axis is optional. If the drive mode is non-synchronous micro-
adjustment mode, each axis becomes valid.
8.3.2 Individual data for master axis/slave axis
Data that is valid for each axis independent of the drive mode.
