8. TANDEM DRIVE
8.4.4 Automatic operation during tandem drive
(1) Synchronous mode
When automatic operation is entered while in synchronous mode, master axis data and signals are used.
Also, the master axis table is used for the point table. An example is shown below.

The in-position signal (INP) is output for each axis separately; therefore, when the axes have come to a
stop and in-position signals (INP) are being used, check the in-position signal (INP) for both the master axis
and the slave axis.
For other types of movement, normal axis movement is followed. (Refer to Section 5.3)

(2) Non-synchronous micro-adjustment mode
Automatic operation can not be entered while in non-synchronous micro-adjustment mode. The while in
tandem drive non-synchronous mode (operation alarm 51, detail 01) occurs upon start of operation.
