97 == **Function description** ==
98
99 (1) The operation target axis is designated by Slave, and the RatioNumerator, the RatioDenominator, the Acceleration, and the Deceleration are designated to perform the gear operation.
100
101 (2) An instruction position, a feedback position, and a latest instruction position can be specified to the Master axis.
102
103 (3) Execute rising edge starts the electronic gear action.
104
105 (4) After the operation is started, the Slave axis performs an acceleration/deceleration operation with the speed obtained by multiplying the Master axis speed by the gear ratio as the target speed.
106
107 (5) The process from the start to the end of synchronization in this function block is essentially an electronic cam thatthe slave axis follows the master axis within the synchronization interval.. At this time, according to the master axis range (MasterSyncPosition-MasterStartDistance, MasterSyncPosition), from the axis range (current position, SlaveSyncPosition), the instruction will automatically design a cam curve according to the set gear ratio and the above three parameters, and slave axis follows the master axis to complete the cam action when performing synchronization.
108
109 (6) Note : If the master-slave axis works in linear mode, it is necessary to ensure that the above parameters are set reasonably, otherwise the gear action cannot be carried out correctly. Therefore, it is recommended that the master-slave axis works in periodic mode when using this instruction.
110
111 For example: Both the master and slave axes move forward in linear mode. When the instruction is executed, if the master axis position >MasterSyncPosition-MasterStartDistance, or slave axis position>SlaveSyncPosition cannot cut in the electronic gear action.
112
113 Sample sequence diagrams in several different parameters are given below:
114
115 When the master axis is operating in periodic mode (360 cycles) and the slave is operating in periodic mode (360 cycles):
116
117 1. MasterSyncPosition=280, MasterStartDistance=50, SlaveSyncPosition =60, spindle speed is 50, AvoidReversa=FALSE.

128
xingzhi lin 2.1 129 3. MasterSyncPosition=300, MasterStartDistance=50, SlaveSyncPosition=60, master axis speed is 50, AvoidReversal=FALSE, from axis start position greater than 60.

xingzhi lin 1.2 133
xingzhi lin 2.1 134 The target speed is reached while the synchronization is completed (InSync is TRUE), then the amount of movement from slave axis=amount of movement from master axis*RatioNumerator/RatioDenominator.
135
136 For AvoidReversal: If the slave axis is a modal axis and the master axis speed (a multiple of the gear ratio) is not a speed relationship with respect to the slave axis, then MC_GearInPos instruction attempts to avoid the reversal of the slave axis. It attempts to "stretch" the motion of the slave axis by adding 5 slave axis cycles. If this "stretch" is not valid, then an error will occur and stop from the axis incorrectly.
137
138 If the master axis speed is associated with the slave axis speed (which is a multiple of the gear ratio), an error occurs and the axis stops in error.
139
140 If the slave axis is a linear axis mode axis, an error will occur when the Execute input rising edge is processed.

xingzhi lin 2.1 144
xingzhi lin 3.1 145 When you want to use MC_SetPosition insturction for Master axis, disengage the relationship between the spindle and the slave axes and execute the instruction.

xingzhi lin 2.1 149
xingzhi lin 3.1 150 On the rising edge of starting Execute, the electronic gear action is started. Busy becomes TRUE at the same time as Execute is started. Once the action is started, Active (in control) and StartSync (in tracking) start the gear action. When you reach MasterSyncPosition, SlaveSyncPosition, InSync becomes TRUE. When this instruction is interrupted with another instruction, CommandAborted becomes TRUE and Busy, Active, StartSync, and InSync becomes FALSE.

164 Immediately abort the currently executing instruction and switch to this instruction.

169 The function block is started immediately after the last instruction motion is terminated. No blending is done here. When the end condition (Done, InVelocity, InEndVelocity, InGear, InSync, EndOfProfile, etc.) is reached, the new motion starts at the speed of the previous motion. If the previous motion was MC_MoveAbsolute or MC_Move
170
171 Relative, then the new movement begins at rest.
