The Properties of the Slave

The name can be edited on the Properties page of the Slave.

One of the axes can be assigned to the slave.

The Properties of the Slave 1:

Button/Input

Description

Area Ratio A/B

If the Automatic Area Ratio checkbox is activated, a fixed area ratio for the two sides of the piston can be entered in the Area Ratio A/B field. The voltages are then automatically calculated for the B-side, which means that these values can no longer be modified in either the graph or the table.

Import

Files in the form (velocity, voltage value) can be read in using the Import button. The values can then be displayed as cubic splines. The type of the spline still needs to be adjusted in the table, according to the values.

Download

The Download button can be used to transfer the current data to the NC, as long as the slave is not coupled, since the tables are deleted completely and refilled with data.

Velocity Percent/Absolute

Whether work takes place with percentage or absolute velocity is decided by the selection of Velocity Percent or Absolute. If Velocity Percent is chosen, then when Velocity A 100% is changed, the velocity values in the diagram are re-scaled in such a way that the percentage values remain constant.

Table ID

The Table ID provides a unique identifying number (1-255) for the table, with the aid of which the table data is stored in the NC.

Table ID

The table ID can be changed by right-clicking the slave in the tree view and selecting the command Change ID.

The Properties of the Slave 2:

The data of the motion diagram can be saved in an export file (*.xti) with Save Slave.... This data can be imported again under a master.
