FOLRATIO Following Parameter
ACTION: Sets the ratio of the following axis to the master. A value of 1
represents 100% of the master.
PROGRAM SYNTAX: FOLRATIO(axis)=expression
FOLRATIO=expression1, ... , expression8
FOLRATIO(axis, ... ,axis)=expression, ... , expression
FOLRATIO(axis) - used in an expression
REMARKS: The axis specifies the number of the following axis (1-8).
The expression specifies the following axis ratio to the master.
If the FOLRATIO is changed during a follower motion the
follower will accelerate/decelerate to the new FOLRATIO at the
FOLRATIOINC rate.
EXAMPLES: FOLRATIO(2)=1.5
Sets axis 2 folratio to 150% of the master velocity.
FOLRATIO=1,,1.5
sets axis 1 folratio to 100% and axis 3 to 150% of the master
velocity.
FOLRATIO(1,3)=1,1.5
sets axis 1 folratio to 100% and axis 3 to 150% of the master
velocity.
