Command Summary - Electronic Gearing
COMMAND DESCRIPTION
GA n
Specifies master axes for gearing where:
n = X,Y,Z or W or A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H for main encoder as master
n = X,Y,Z or W or A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H for main encoder as master
n = CX,CY,CZ, CW or CA, CB,CC,CD,CE,CF,CG,CH for commanded position.
n = DX,DY,DZ or DW or DA, DB, DC, DD, DE, DF,DG,DH for auxiliary encoders
n = S or T for gearing to coordinated motion.
GD a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h Sets the distance the master will travel for the gearing change to take full effect.
_GPn
This operand keeps track of the difference between the theoretical distance traveled if
gearing changes took effect immediately, and the distance traveled since gearing
changes take effect over a specified interval.
gearing changes took effect immediately, and the distance traveled since gearing
changes take effect over a specified interval.
GR a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h
Sets gear ratio for slave axes. 0 disables electronic gearing for specified axis.
GM a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h X = 1 sets gantry mode, 0 disables gantry mode
MR x,y,z,w
Trippoint for reverse motion past specified value. Only one field may be used.
MF x,y,z,w
Trippoint for forward motion past specified value. Only one field may be used.
Example - Simple Master Slave
Master axis moves 10000 counts at slew speed of 100000 counts/sec. Y is defined as the master. X,Z,W are geared
to master at ratios of 5,-.5 and 10 respectively.
to master at ratios of 5,-.5 and 10 respectively.
GA Y,,Y,Y
Specify master axes as Y
GR 5,,-.5,10
Set gear ratios
PR ,10000
Specify Y position
SP ,100000
Specify Y speed
BGY Begin

Example - Electronic Gearing
Objective: Run two geared motors at speeds of 1.132 and -0.045 times the speed of an external master. The master
is driven at speeds between 0 and 1800 RPM (2000 counts/rev encoder).
is driven at speeds between 0 and 1800 RPM (2000 counts/rev encoder).
Solution: Use a DMC-1730 or DMC-1830 controller, where the Z-axis is the master and X and Y are the geared
axes.
axes.
MO Z
Turn Z off, for external master
GA Z, Z
Specify Z as the master axis for both X and Y.
GR 1.132,-.045
Specify gear ratios
Now suppose the gear ratio of the X-axis is to change on-the-fly to 2. This can be achieved by commanding:
GR 2
Specify gear ratio for X axis to be 2
Example - Gantry Mode
In applications where both the master and the follower are controlled by the DMC-1700/1800 controller, it may be
desired to synchronize the follower with the commanded position of the master, rather than the actual position. This
eliminates the coupling between the axes which may lead to oscillations.
