Note the following points when specifying parameters for the electronic gear box.
1. Arrange the controlled axes such that a slave axis appears before a dummy axis.

2. Do not use a name which is usually not allowed to be used as an axis address, such as D.
3. Specify the same values for an EGB slave axis and an EGB dummy axis in the following
parameters.
1004#7 Ten times minimum input increment
1001#0 Inch/metric switching (rotation axis/linear axis)
1006#1 Shape of machine coordinate system (rotation axis/linear axis)
1006#2 Shape of machine coordinate system for pitch error compensation (rotation
axis/linear axis)
1420 Rapid traverse rate
1421 Rapid-traverse override F0 speed
1820 Command multiplication
4. Specify the amount of travel per rotation about a rotation axis for a slave axis in a
parameter No. 1260.
5. Make the specification for a dummy axis in the following way.
1815#1 Whether to use separate detectors. Although an EGB dummy axis uses
the interface of a separate detector, set these parameters to 0.
6. If the following parameters are not specified, an alarm (SV 417 servo parameter invalid)
may be generated. In such a case, make the specification as described below.
20XX Specify the same value for both a slave axis and a dummy axis.
2084, 2085 Flexible feed gear.
Set parameters Nos. 2084 and 2085 to 1 for the dummy axis.
7. Specify as large a feed-forward coefficient as possible to reduce the synchronization error.
For details of parameter setting, see Feed-forward setting of Geometric error suppression
function in FANUC AC SERVO MOTOR a Series Parameter Manual (B-65150).
