Limitation
- Limitations on synchronous control and composite control
Function In synchronous control In composite control
Acceleration/deceleratio
n control
The synchronous slave axis is
subject to
acceleration/deceleration of the
same type as the synchronous
master axis. As the time
constants, those specific to the
axes are used.
The acceleration/deceleration
type of the specified path is
used. As the time
constants, those specific to
the axes are used (3).
Acceleration/deceleratio
n before interpolation
The synchronous slave axis is
subject to the same
acceleration/deceleration as
the synchronous master axis.
The acceleration/deceleration
settings of the specified path
are used.
Cutting feedrate clamp Clamping is performed on the
synchronous master.
Clamping is performed on the
specified path (4).
Reference position
return
Possible on the synchronous
master axis if the axis is not in
parking. Only automatic
reference position return (G28)
is possible if the synchronous
master axis is in parking.
Possible on axes not related
to composite control. Only
automatic reference position
return (G28) is possible on an
axis under composite control.
2nd, 3rd, 4th reference
position return
Same as above. Same as above.
Reference position
return check
Same as above. Same as above.
PMC axis control Possible on axes other than the
synchronous slave axis.
Possible.
Polar coordinate
interpolation, Cylindrical
interpolation
Possible. Possible. (In polar
coordinate interpolation or
cylindrical interpolation mode,
composite control cannot be
turned ON/OFF.)
Handle interruption See parameter SMI (No.
8163#5).
Possible with parameter MMI
(No. 8163#6).
Mirror image See parameter SMI SMI (No.
8163#5).
Signals in the specified path
are effective (4).
Machine lock Signals in the individual paths
are effective (1).
Signals in the specified path
are effective (4).
Inter lock Signals on the synchronous
master side are valid for the
synchronous slave axis.(2)
Signals in the specified path
are effective (4).
Override Signals on the synchronous
master side are valid for the
synchronous slave axis.(2)
Signals in the specified path
are effective (4).
External deceleration Signals on the synchronous
master side are valid for the
synchronous slave axis.(2)
Signals in the specified path
are effective (4).
Skip function Not possible on the
synchronous slave axis.
Possible on axes not related
to composite control.
Automatic tool offset Not possible on the
synchronous slave axis.
Possible on axes not related
to composite control.
Follow-up Not possible during
synchronization.
Not possible during
composite control.
