3.4.5 Superimposing synchronism
You can configure a superimposing synchronism for cam and gearing. This is done
by configuring an additional synchronization object at the synchronization axis.
Cross-referencing synchronization objects is impossible.
Configuring axes with superimposing synchronism
A superimposing synchronization object is configured in analog to a
synchronization object.
Superimposed motion
Relative to the basic motion of an axis (motion or synchronism), a superimposing
synchronism has the same effect as a superimposing positioning motion.
Only one superimposing motion can be applied to an axis at any given time:
• superimposing positioning motion, or
• superimposing synchronism
Superimposing synchronism can thus be active without concurrently active base
motion or base synchronism.
For further information on superimposing motions at an axis, refer to the
corresponding description of the technological functions.
Coordinates
The base synchronization object is referenced to the base coordinates when the
axis operates in absolute synchronism and the slave position is defined.
The superimposing synchronization object is referenced to the superimposing
coordinates when the axis operates in absolute synchronism and the slave position
is defined.
Synchronism with reference to base coordinates and superimposing synchronism
with reference to superimposing coordinates do not influence each other.
The sum coordinate is derived from the base and superimposing coordinates.
