Synchronization is
possible only for axes
connected to the same

board.
Synchronization among
multiple boards is not
possible
Synchronization control can be performed for up
to 8 axes (1 master axis and 7 slave axes).
Up to 8 axes
can be
connected
Up to 8 axes

2.4.1 Combination of Master Axes and Slave Axes
This section explains combination of slave axes allowed for the main axis setting.
The table below shows combination of slave axes that can be controlled in a given setting.
* Assignment of main and slave axes is specified in programs (XCAS commands).
