Axes - Dialog: Coupling

In order to be able to test the coupling of the axes manually, there is this special dialog in the TwinCAT System Manager.

Set position

In addition to the actual position (large display field), the current target position of the drive is also displayed.

Master axis: here the axis is selected which the currently edited axis is to follow as slave.

Coupling type: currently, linear coupling and the flying saw are implemented as coupling types.

Gearing factor: desired ratio between master and slave velocity as a real number.

Parameter 2-4: only valid when Coupling type"Flying saw" is selected.

Couple: activates the coupling of master and slave.

Decouple: returns both axes to the independent state.

Change factor: "On the Fly" change of the gearing factor.

Stop: refers to the stopping of the axis at the coupling type "Flying saw".
