7.1 Gear
The operation of the gear and the parameters required to use a gear are explained
here.
7.1.1 Operation
(1) The gear transfers a number of pulses which is the travel value (number of
PULSES) of the drive module (virtual servo motor, synchronous encoder)
multiplied by the gear ratio set in the parameters, to the output shaft
[Number of output
shaft PULSE]
=
[Number of input
shaft PULSE]
× [gear ratio] (Units: PLS)
(2) The direction of rotation of the output shaft is set in the gear parameters.

See Section 7.1.2 for details on the gear parameters.
7.1.2 Parameters
The gear parameters are presented in Table 7.1, and the items in this table are ex-
plained in (1) and (2) below. (For the method for setting gear parameters, refer to
the SW2SRX-GSV22PE/SW0IX-CAMPE Operating Manual.)

(Note): D800 to D1559 are devices dedicated to the virtual servo motor axes, synchronous encoder
axes and output module "cams" in the virtual mode. The areas of the unused virtual servo motor,
synchronous encoder and cam axes are available for the user.
