FOLOFFSET Following Parameter
ACTION: Defines a following incremental offset distance from the current
position.
PROGRAM SYNTAX: FOLOFFSET(axis)=expression
FOLOFFSET=expression1, ... , expression8
REMARKS: The expression specifies the following axis offset in units.
The axis specifies the number of the following axis (1-8).
Used in conjunction with FOLSYNCDIST, FOLOFFSETDIST,
FOLMAXRATIO and FOLMINRATIO to advance or recede the
follower axis. The FOLSYNCDIST defines the master delay
distance travel in synchronization after an FOLOFFSET command
is issued. The FOLOFFSETDIST defines the master distance
traveled while the FOLOFFSET is being performed. The
FOLMAXRATIO defines the upper velocity limit for an advance
cycle. The FOLMINRATIO defines the lower limit velocity for a
recede cycle.
The FOLOFFSET command only works during a FOLJOG cycle .
