22. FUNCTIONS SPECIFIC TO 2–PATH
CONTROL
NC FUNCTION
259
In 16-TB(2–path control), usually the axes belonging to path 1 (X1,
Z1,...) are moved by the move command of path 1. The axes belonging
to path 2 (X2, Z2, ...) are moved by that of path 2 (individual path control).
The synchronization/mix control function can move an optional axis of
one path and that of the other path synchronously (synchronization
control). This control function can exchange the move commands for
optional axes between two paths (mix control).
The axes belonging to path 1 (X1, Z1,...) are moved by the move
command of path 1. The axes belonging to path 2 (X2, Z2, ...) are moved
by that of path 2.

The move command for an axis (master axis) is given also to another
optional axis (slave axis). These two axes are then moved synchronously.
The slave axis can be moved also by its own move command. Which
command to use can be selected by the synchronization control selection
signal from PMC.
NOTE
1 Synchronization here means issuing the master axis move
command to the master axis and also to the slave axis
simultaneously. The position deviation of master and slave
axes is always detected. It, however, is not compensated
because synchronization compensation is not performed. If
a deviation exceeding the limit set in the parameter is
detected, an alarm occurs and the movements of both axes
are stopped.
2 The master axis and slave axis do not need to belong to the
same path. Two or more slave axes can be specified for one
master axis.
