8.6 SUPERIMPOSED CONTROL
Overview
The superimposed control function adds the amount of movement of
an axis (superimposed control master axis) in one path to an axis
(superimposed control slave axis) on the other path for which ordinary
move commands are being executed. This function is similar to
synchronous control but differs from it in that move commands can be
issued not only for the master axis but also for the slave axis. The
slave axis moves by the sum of the amount of movement specified by
its own move commands and the amount of movement specified by
move commands for the master axis. Appropriate setting of parameter
OMRx (No. 8162#3) can reverse the direction in which the master and
slave axes move.
