Electronic Gear Parameter Setting Example (B): Rotating Load

In the above machine system, if the requirement is reference unit = output unit = 0.1°, the
setting of each parameter will be as follows:

• Gear ratio = n/m = 10/30 = 1/3
• No.21 =

Axis Selection

There are two types of position control: Finite length position control, where return and
other operations are performed only within a specified range, i.e., within a prescribed posi-
tioning interval, and infinite length position control, which is used for rotation in one direc-
tion only.

There are two infinite length position control methods. One method involves resetting the
conveyor belt or other device to “0” after one rotation; the other method involves rotating
the conveyor belt in one direction only, without resetting after one rotation.

Axis selection involves selecting which of these types of position control is to be used. The
axis selection is set in bit 5 of motion fixed parameter No. 17 (Motion Controller Function
Selection Flags).

When motion commands (OWC020) are not used, axis selection is disabled. (Set as a finite
length axis (= 0).)

The reset position is set in motion fixed parameter No. 23 (Infinite

Length Axis Reset Position).
