Example - Electronic Gearing SMC–4000
Objective: Run a geared motor at a speed of 1.132 times the speed of an external master. The master is
driven at speeds between 0 and 1800 RPM (2000 counts/rev encoder), and is connected through the
auxiliary encoder inputs.
Solution: Use an SMC–4000 controller, where the X-axis auxiliary is master and X-axis main is geared
axis.
Now suppose the gear ratio of the X-axis is to change on-the-fly to 2. This can be achieved by
commanding:
Contour Mode Example
A complete program to generate the contour movement in this example is given below. To generate an
array, compute the position value at intervals of 8 ms. This is stored at the array POS. Then, the
difference between the positions is computed and is stored in the array DIF. Finally the motors are run in
the contour mode.
GR 1.132 Specify gear ratio
GR 2 Specify gear ratio for X axis to be 2
